Intermission - Some Thoughts About Kristen As I Wait For Her Arrival

To those of you who’ve been following my blog and have read the first few posts, you remember how I talked about this woman named Kristen that I believe God gave me a supernatural vision of back in the beginning of 2018. In the vision, God (I’m 99.9% sure it was Him) spoke to me about her and told me that she was going to be my wife, and He told me some details about her.

Since then, I’ve heard stories about other Christians claiming that God gave them a dream or vision of who they were going to marry in the future, and there have been mixed results. I believe that it’s been about 50/50 true or false. However, I asked God for a sign to prove that it was really from Him and I got one, then I asked for another sign just in case the first one was a coincidence, and I got one. This went on for quite some time and I ended up getting many different confirmation signs in the world around me in ways that were beyond the ability to be coincidence, so I’m as certain as I can ever be now that the vision about Kristen and what I heard about her in my spirit that night was really from God, as well as some info I heard in prayer a few weeks later.

Since then, I’ve been working on writing the book, improving my health, improving my appearance, style, how I carry myself, my inner dialogue of self confidence, etc. I’ve been taking care of business, doing everything I know to do to be a bombshell of a man by the time Kristen and I meet.

Sure, I’ve had health and financial set backs and doubts trying to reemerge (probably from the devil) trying to make me fear that the whole thing about Kristen has been a figment of my imagination or something sent by the devil. I prayed to God asking Him to reassure me again and again that the whole Kristen thing was really from Him so many times that I felt like God was really getting irritated with me. I think that He felt like He’s already given me more than enough evidence that I should be convinced of the truth of this Kristen thing, so whenever the devil or my own brain brings the fears back up I remind them what kind of God I serve!

A God who loves to do the seemingly impossible to bring glory to His Name!

Now, it’s not impossible that I could meet a beautiful, fit, blonde Christian woman in her mid twenties who was a virgin, who was very Christ-like in her character, who was also going to be a sexual lamborghini (in essence) once we got married, who was going to go seeking ME out and not make me chase her in order to get her… (all of which I saw or was told in the vision). However, though it’s not impossible, without God’s supernatural guidance the chances of finding such a woman who meets all those criteria are incredibly slim (more so in this day and age vs a few hundred years ago). Then, the chances of her name being Kristen (or some other spelling variation of that name) make the odds even slimmer.

So basically, in this vision (I believe it was God), God promised me this woman, who would meet all of these criteria. The vision was very vivid and intense, and I didn’t take any sort of psychedelic drugs that could have induced such a vision either. It came late at night but while I was still awake, and after a lot of intense heart-wrenching prayer. Anyway, I am strongly convinced that God was/is asking me to believe for this, and to believe that she and I are going to get married when I’m 33 years old and she’s 29. So that’s about 4 years from now, the wedding date that is.

And yet, I haven’t even met her yet in person. I do believe however that she and I will meet sometime when I’m 31 years old, according to what I heard in a different prayer a few weeks later after the first vision. We could meet sooner than 31, or we could meet later than 31, but I doubt it will be later. God knows that even when this beautiful woman of my dreams comes into my life we are going to have to take time to get to know each other REALLY in depth and really well before we tie the knot, just to make sure that I don’t have a repeat of my first wife and my first marriage.

So, now, I take time here and there to daydream about Kristen, to imagine us lying in a 2 person hammock side by side gently swinging at the beach in some tropical place. I imagine us sitting on the couch together or sitting at even just the kitchen table discussing major life topics. I imagine what it will be like getting to know her after we meet. I try to imagine us holding hands, hugging, and even a few brief kisses. I stop there though… I have to keep my thoughts and mental images of her pure in accordance with the Bible. I may know a lot about sex and about the specifics of what I want in my next marriage (and what I feel like I should have had in my 1st) but nonetheless I don’t imagine anything beyond short and simple kisses when I day dream about Kristen. I want to keep things right in God’s eyes regarding my thoughts towards her.

I look at the pictures I drew of her (from what I saw in the vision) fairly often, so as to get encouragement for what I can look forward to in the next few years. However, I also pray to God often to please help me not place her as an idol in my heart before Him. I don’t feel like I do have any idols in my heart, anything I put before God, but I do know that sometimes I have to work to keep it that way.

When you read my book (whenever it comes out), I write a fictional future for Kristen and I, simply something I envision for us and what I’d like our future to look like, but I know that it’s not a guarantee that it’ll turn out exactly like what I write. It’s just dream-building that has a chance of something pretty similar coming true. Anyway, in the futuristic fiction part of the story, I manage to get a wedding booked for us at the Biltmore Mansion. Talk about a mind blowing experience! I mean, as far as I know people really can get married there, though I’m sure it costs a fortune. If my book sells well enough by the time Kristen and I are engaged then maybe I’ll be able to make that a reality, but until then, I can just consider in my mind from time to time that having a huge fancy wedding at a historic mansion would be fitting for any woman who fits the bill for the wife God has promised me!

I know she’s not going to be perfect. I’m not going to put her on a pedestal or make stupid decisions just for the sake of keeping her happy… but I’m trusting that because God is giving her to me, that she is or will be the kind of woman that God wants her to be… someone who respects and appreciates the man God gives her and is proud to do what God has called her to do as a wife and a Christian servant of God.

I’m looking forward to the day when Kristen and I meet, and I’m looking forward to the day we stand at the altar. I’m looking forward to what God is going to do through the both of us for His Kingdom’s sake! Until those days come, I’m just working on improving myself in every way possible and being as obedient to God as possible in whatever He calls me to do.

Take Care!

The Meat and The Bones - How, Why and What Christians Can Learn From “The World”

I’m sure most of you have heard the old saying “chew up the meat and spit out the bones”… and I’m sure most of you know what it means. Simply put, you take what seems to be good or true information from something… anything… and you disregard any part of it that you do not believe to be good or true.

As a Christian, that’s what I’ve had to do all throughout my life as I’ve been through many different churches which each had their own separate cultures and belief systems, depending on the denomination. What I’ve found is that each group of Christians I’ve met, and even individual Christians, seem to have areas where they differ from other Christians in their views on certain topics, usually spiritual matters or world view related things.

What many Christians seem to not realize, however, is that the same concept can and should be applied to “The World”, and the things of “The World.” In a well intentioned effort to remain as pure and holy as possible, most Christians have thrown the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to what information they heed from “The World.”

For those of you reading this who aren’t Christians, “The World” is the term that the Bible and Christians use to describe everyone who is not a Christian, including their culture. This mainly refers to the mainstream, but also includes any kind of belief systems that are small or uncommon but which teach things that go against the teachings of The Bible. The thing is, because God and the different authors within the Bible talk about being “in the world but not of The World” and “not being conformed to the pattern of this World”, a lot of Christians have rejected ANY INFORMATION which comes from the mainstream, or from people of other religions.

The problem with this is that there ARE some truths present in the teachings of other religions, some of which are absent from The Bible but yet are not antagonistic towards what God says is “right and wrong” or “truth vs deception.” There is a LOT of useful information out in “The World” that is secular in nature, but which has been ignored by the Christian masses despite being amoral and very helpful for building a successful life.

Some examples of what I’m talking about include:

-Consumer Psychology

-Social Dynamics

-(For Men) How to understand women and what they want/don’t want, like/don’t like

-(For Women) How to understand men and what they want/don’t want, like/don’t like

-Law of Attraction stuff (because the Law of Attraction is strongly emphasized in the Bible believe it or not)

-Many different strategies for making more money and sustainably growing it

-Many different strategies managing your money

-The most advanced information and tools for getting and maintaining maximum health and fitness

-Certain types of relationship/sexual advice that isn’t usually part of Christian teachings on marriage/sex (but should be in a carefully filtered way)

-All kinds of information about how to be successful in business (but as Christians we exclude the crooked/scammy stuff)

-Lot’s of different self improvement info that can help Christians actually BE better Christians, better neighbors, employee’s, etc.

You see, most of the best information out there that applies to every area of our lives is coming from people who don’t know Jesus Christ as the Savior of their Soul and provider of a “ticket” to Heaven so to speak. Because they aren’t Christians however, a lot of churches and pastors are teaching their congregants that the information these “worldly” people have is worthless, that it doesn’t apply to Christians, that it’s evil or inferior to God’s Wisdom, and some of that is true. God’s Wisdom does trump all human understanding. However, God can and does cherry pick from non-Christian experts in all different fields to teach His people the information that can help them be the most successful and healthy in this life, BUT God only gives this information to those who are willing to drop their theological ego and believe that God can and will use worldly resources to teach His people.

I need to clarify right here that I’m not saying that God doesn’t know certain things and has to rely on humans’ teachings. What I’m saying is, God knows what information from what un-saved person is the best suited for teaching Christians certain skills or wisdom that would best benefit them in a certain area of their life.

I know from personal experience that God has used secular training programs to teach me all sorts of skills that I should have been taught in church or by my parents but never learned. Some of the resources God used to teach me had profanity and/or sexually explicit ideas or discussions, but obviously not pornography. I’m just saying, God knew that there were certain programs that teach men how to become more masculine, how to have better self esteem, how to be more attractive to women, how to understand and interact with women better, how to be better in business, raise their testosterone, communicate better, etc… God knew that these programs had the information I needed to learn most at that point in my life and He knew that it was presented in a format or worded in such a way that I would be able to understand it and learn it better than I could from any other Christians I’ve met before.

First I’m going to talk about Christian dating, marriage and sexual purity a little bit and then I’ll cover some of the other important “life topics” that Christians can learn from “The World” when they chew up the meat and spit out the bones.

I know this may sound like an almost oxymoron, but think about this for a second. In Christianity, sexual purity is a HUGE deal, and abstinence before marriage is a HUGE deal, and not imagining having sexual activity with anyone who you aren’t married to is also a strongly stressed moral point, coming from multiple places in the Bible. Well, for young Christians whose hormones have their sexual nature firing on all cylinders and they start desiring sex in middle school or high school, finding the RIGHT person to marry as soon as possible is of utmost importance to someone who wants to please God.

Well, all the problems that occur with dating and attraction and communication roadblocks between men and women apply to Christians just as much as they apply to non-Christians. Most non-Christian guys in middle school and high school, and even into adult hood have NO CLUE how to be successful with dating and being attractive with women. Most guys either have almost ZERO interest from most of the ladies or they are chick magnets and don’t even know what they are doing… they’re just naturally that way, usually no one taught them how to be a chick magnet.

While non-Christian people focus heavily on hooking up and one night stands or trying to sleep with someone BEFORE even trying to date them, it’s the total opposite for Christians who are serious about pleasing God in the way that they live. Almost all of the dating advice or programs out there teach men how to be attractive to more women but they focus heavily on seduction and “tricks” to try to get her to sleep with you quickly. Because of this, no church or conservative parent would teach their kids this stuff when they are at the middle school/high school age. And churches wouldn’t even teach it to adults because of it’s sexually immoral content.

There’s a BIG LOSS happening here though. Christians NEED the good info that’s taught by dating coaches and “pick up artists”, they just don’t need the sexual portion of it until they are close to marrying someone. Even then, they only need to know the sexual information to know how to properly start the “fire” once they are married and how to keep the “fire” healthy.

The young Christian men need different info than the young Christian women however. The young guys need to learn how ladies think differently than guys and why. They need to learn what qualities most ladies desire most in guys, across the board. There needs to be Christian moral value consideration taught in there too. The guys need to look for Christian ladies who are spiritually mature and pretty spiritually clean (ie. no sleeping around, no frequent cussing, no drug misuse, not drowning their eyes and ears in immoral movies, TV and music, etc).

The young Christian ladies need to look for the same spiritual traits in the Christian guys they seek. The young Christian ladies need to learn how guys think differently, how testosterone and estrogen affect behavior and worldview and emotions differently. The young Christian ladies need to learn what qualities will make them not only outwardly attractive to guys (yet in a Godly way), but also what characteristics they need to have to be a good wife. Girls/women manipulating guys in relationships is a HUGE problem in the world today and unfortunately it occurs too often in Christians, though it’s something God hates and it’s something that will severely hurt mens’ trust. Girls MUST eradicate any tendencies they may have learned from their peers or female family members to manipulate guys in any way for any reason, and that ESPECIALLY means being honest with guys at all times so that your yes means yes and your no means no. There’s so many jokes about women saying one thing and meaning something totally different, but that goes directly against the teachings in the Word of God and it’s completely unnecessary and definitely NOT Christ-like! Girls need to learn early on that it is NOT ok to lie to men or sexually extort them to get what they want. Such behavior will destroy a marriage quickly and almost guarantee that the husband will cheat or turn to pornography because of his wife’s manipulation.

Both sexes need to learn early on how to be a good husband or wife back in middle school and high school, learning and building their skill over the years until they are able to date someone long enough to get to the point of being ready to marry them.

If Christian guys and girls (starting around the age of puberty) don’t start learning how to be successful at attracting and maintaining a healthy relationship with the opposite sex, then they will likely have low self esteem for many many years and struggle to even find a girlfriend or boyfriend when they are at an age where they NEED to be finding their future spouse! That happens a lot nowadays, and when Christians are in their 20’s and still single, or still haven’t found the right person to marry, their ability to remain sexually pure in their minds and abstinent before marriage becomes an ever increasingly difficult battle that MOST fail at! MOST Christians don’t make it to marriage as a virgin, or they do but have had a problem with pornography because they used it as a crutch to make it through the period of physical abstinence even though they knew it was wrong. If we want to preserve sexual purity among the body of Christ, smart people who know what they are doing need to teach young Christian guys and ladies the proper social dynamics of being successful at dating and relationships, and start early so they are ready when late high-school or college age comes around.

OK so aside from the dating stuff…….

I mentioned plenty of other things earlier that Christians can really benefit from if they’d be willing to let God selectively teach them through the “world’s” best experts in different things. Most advancements in medical knowledge and proper nutrition and fitness come from non-Christians, yet all those things are important and vital for Christians to live the best possible life here on earth. Just because there’s a “full course” waiting for us in heaven doesn’t mean we can’t have a “good appetizer” in our lives down here on earth. Most of the success we all want here in this earthly life comes from wise decisions, and most of that comes from earthly knowledge, though divine teaching certainly plays a role in that too.

I’m just saying that if we are willing to “chew up the meat and spit out the bones” there is TONS of great, helpful stuff that Christians can learn from non-Christian worldly teachers. Most of them are multi-millionaires who have thousands of satisfied customers/students/clients who can attest to how that person’s advice or product improved their life to a major degree. Most of the time it’s NOT a scam! There are tons of motivational speakers and business professionals who have some seriously ungodly character traits but that doesn’t mean we can’t take the gold nuggets of wisdom that they DO have and apply them in our lives as Christians and actually become better Christians a lot of times by doing what they say.

Sure, pastors have their place, but there are some things people need to know to be successful in life that most pastors know for themselves but DON’T bother to teach their congregants. And many more pastors don’t even know the wise keys for themselves. They might get $80,000 a year from the church but they usually have no idea how to help other people make $80,000 a year, or how to help them attract a good spouse, or how to help them get fit or how to eat the best diet for them. That’s where the experts out in the world come in.

If these worldly teachers cuss, SO WHAT?! Ignore the cursing for the sake of gleaning the gold from what they have to teach and then move on to something or someone else. You do this enough times with enough good teachers who know what they are doing, then you (as a Christian) can turn around and teach all these good things that you’ve learned to other Christians and family members of yours who need to know these success secrets to whatever area of their life they can apply to.

The Bible is full of scriptures that say to befriend wisdom and be willing to “buy knowledge” because it is so precious and profitable to the one who learns it. This is talking about the kind of knowledge needed to be successful in life. In the New Testament, we learn that those who know how to use the systems of this world (commerce) or have lots of the world’s goods, are considered valuable contributors to the kingdom of God as long as they use their wealth and economic skill to help those in need and to help support the Body of Christ (aka Christians as a whole).

It is a cold, hard fact that we as Christians HAVE to be financially sufficient and have our lives in order properly before we can really help others. Those who are struggling financially might still donate sometimes or volunteer somewhere, but they’re thousands of dollars in debt and making a barely survivable wage and having to use food stamps or go to a food bank. They cant afford to go to the doctor, can’t afford to take care of their pet’s vet needs, etc etc. Their life is barely hanging on and it will NEVER get better until they increase their income significantly and learn proper time management, health practices, etc. Once they do those things, THEN they will be able to be a big help to those in need and to missionaries and in their churches.

In order to achieve these things I mentioned above, most poor people who are struggling need help from experts who know how to help them defeat their obstacles and conquer life. That’s not to say that I’m telling anyone to forget about God. We HAVE to depend on God to help us at all times! But God also expects us to make the wisest decisions and actions possible in our own power AND consult His instructions on the matters at hand also. I believe that God knows which success resources (training programs, books, mentor’s, etc) are best suited for each individual Christian believer, and if they will pray and ask God to please lead them to the right people to teach them the right things that they need to know at that point in their life, then I believe God will do it, because He did it for me. Not just once, He’s done it for me many many times over the past several years!

I still have some life struggles I’m working to overcome, and certainly SOME of what factors into the speed of our success is God’s plan and God’s timing for our lives, but we ought to do the best we can do to better ourselves as people all around, in every area of our lives, so we can be happier, be better lovers, neighbors, parents, etc. I believe that if we ask and pray for God’s guidance every step of the way and tell God our dreams and ask Him to help us achieve them, then as long as our dreams don’t directly go against God’s Will for your life then God will help you achieve them… but YOU have to do all of the work that you can in pursuit of your dream (still keeping God #1 though) and then once you’ve done all you can do God will take care of the rest and you’ll see His supernatural provision!

Take care everyone and God Bless!

Praying and Speaking In Tongues - Be Careful Before You Bash It!

Speaking in Tongues is one of the most controversial subjects within Christianity. There are many denominations that do believe in it and support it, and many more that don’t believe in it, and call all those who do it either fake, deceived or speaking demonically. While there are SOME cases where “tongues” are faked, and SOME cases where it is “demonic tongues”, for the most part it is genuine spiritual language fueled by the Holy Spirit, and not our imagination or the devil! However, the Bible does give instructions on how and where to speak in tongues.

It’s one thing if non-believers bash those who claim to have the ability to speak in tongues, but it’s another thing all together for Christians to bash other Christians for speaking/praying in tongues. Now, in just a moment I will explain the difference between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues, for those who don’t understand the difference. But what I’m emphasizing so heavily right here is that Christians who don’t believe in modern day speaking/praying in tongues who criticize speaking in tongues or call it “fake” or “demonic” are endangering themselves into experiencing the correction and discipline of God, because it is an INSULT to God to hear some Christians call “fake” or “demonic” that which God’s Word says ought to be common place within the church. These people are calling “fake” or “demonic” what the Holy Spirit is doing in other people, and the Christians who are saying those things better watch out before God sends swift, not-so-gentle correction to these people.

Here’s the thing. The Bible says that heavenly tongues is a real supernatural gift from God, and the Bible mentions two different ways/scenarios in which speaking in tongues can and should be done. The first is publicly, before other people, speaking a message in tongues out loud, addressing the crowd. This is ONLY supposed to be done if a person with the gift of interpretation of tongues is present to interpret the message to the crowd. The second way in which tongues can and should be spoken is privately, quietly, in prayer to God. If you are alone, it’s ok to speak the tongues out loud in prayer to God. If you are around other people and the Holy Spirit is not calling you to publicly address them with a message in tongues, then you can pray in tongues to God all you want as long as you do it quietly under your breath where no one can hear you.

There are three main hangups that most of the “anti-tongues” Christians have against speaking/praying in tongues, and I will address each of them here. The first is “How do you know that this stuff isn’t from your imagination or the devil?” That is a valid point, because there are ways in which either could occur, but most of the time those fears are unfounded. You can tell “real tongues” vs “fake tongues” vs “demonic tongues” based upon how the language and words sound. The tone, the way it flows, the “vibe” that people get when they hear the tongues being spoken, these are all indicators of where the “tongues language” is originating from.

When people are trying to make up tongues, there’s a peculiarity to it, where certain sounds are usually repeated or strung together too frequently, like “shaba-daba shaba-daba hubba-shubba hubba-shubba.” It sounds more like a broken record than a naturally flowing conversation. Fake tongues also tend to change to emulate the sound of other people who may be speaking in tongues around them. Sometimes in churches or camp meetings, everyone with the ability to speak in tongues is encouraged to praise God all at the same time, out loud. I’m personally un-sure whether God wants people to do this, based upon my reading of several different passages in the Bible related to speaking/praying in tongues. However, in these times of public tongue speaking, there will always be a mixture of people who truly do have the gift, and those who fake it for whatever reason.

Demonic tongues do indeed come from a demon living inside a person, and a believer must most like be heavily entrenched in some kind of serious sin to be in a position to have a demon inside of them. There are times when demons can affect Christians from the outside, that is, influence their mind by throwing bad thoughts or words into that believer’s mind, or by influencing someone else to do something that the demon knows will anger the believer and get he/she to act in a sinful way because of their anger. However, if a demon is living inside of a believer, they had to have done some kind of serious sin to open a door to allow that demon to come inside and control that person whenever the demon wishes (and when God allows it to). If a demon is making a person speak in tongues, it will have a sharp, rude sounding, attack-like tone to it, reminiscent of an angry elf speaking something that sounds like a mix between german and mandarin Chinese. I’m not going to try to create a quote example of what I believe it might sound like but I can assure you that it will have a hateful or rude sound to it when it comes out of the person’s mouth.

True tongues that originate from the Holy Spirit have a naturally smooth and graceful flow to how they come out, how each word sounds, and it sounds just like someone having a normal conversation in another language that you can’t understand. I’ll do my best to type out a sample of what true tongues sounds like, though it’s hard to replicate it outside of an audio or video recording. True tongues sounds something like this: “kho shak a dah iya bo mah fiyo du shju shin diya fo mu diyu nen eetiya.” True tongues are a heavenly language that comes from the Holy Spirit. It is a way for your spirit to communicate with God in a way that surpasses human consciousness.

When we pray in genuine Holy Spirit tongues, it is our spirit praying to God saying things that we OUGHT to pray but have no conscious awareness of. It is the Holy Spirit helping us pray to God for things that that we don’t even know we should be praying about or saying to God. Praying in tongues is like God looking at us in our normal human state and saying “ok, in your human consciousness you are capable of comprehending and praying for 30% of the things that you ought to be praying about. Switch over to use this Heavenly Language, and your spirit will pray 100% of what is best and correct, bypassing the limitedness of your human consciousness.”

That is the purpose of speaking and praying in tongues, and I’ve detailed the differences between speaking them publicly and doing so privately in prayer with God. Christians most often use their “prayer language” (as tongues is commonly called) in the midst of spiritual warfare or when something really bad or tragic is going on and they need immediate, powerful help and guidance from God.

I hope this has been an insightful and informative post for you guys and gals. Thanks for reading and please subscribe/follow to stay tuned for more.

God Bless You All,

This is the next post in my series of re-sharing my old content in Chronological order. Contains Mature Subject Matter!

Update

WARNING: CHRISTIAN DISCUSSION OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MARITAL CONTENT

In my last blog entry entitled “If I was a Christian Woman in Today’s Age” I talked quite a bit about sex in the second half, and I mentioned porn a few times, in a non-condoning yet realistic discussion about why some people have problems with it and find the temptation so hard to resist. I just wanted to clarify that, when I wrote those things, I was writing a lot more about the physical side of sex within marriage, but I didn’t mean to exclude the emotional or spiritual parts of sex either, though it might have appeared that way to some people. The thing is, I feel both from my personal experience and that of other Christian men that I know, that it seems that within marriages or even when people are single or dating and trying to determine if someone is husband/wife material, when thinking or talking about sex in those situation it seems that there is often times TOO LITTLE EMPHASIS on the physical side of sex, mainly only within the Christian community.

A lot of people in the Christian community say “sex is more than just physical, it’s about the emotional and spiritual too.” That IS TRUE, but when people are saying that, often times even if they don’t realize it, they are giving off the impression that the physical part of sex doesn’t matter that much, shouldn’t be a big priority, etc… but let’s think about this for a second… when people have sex, the physical pleasure that is elicited CREATES a large part of the emotional things that we feel during sex. Things which feel REALLY GOOD physically elicit a much stronger emotional response than physical things which feel somewhat good but nothing to shout about. Then, the degree and intensity of emotional connection and feelings that we get then reinforces the spiritual connection and makes people even more thankful to God for giving them the spouse to whom they are enjoying that wonderful intimate encounter with.

It all ties together, and yet within the Christian community there seems to be this idea that everyone should be super “Vanilla”, that sex within the Christian married couple’s bedroom should be more like two tortoises mating rather than two rabbits… I mean, do you get my drift? It’s like… while the world may have a lot of things wrong with it’s systems and beliefs, one thing the world tends to understand better than Christians is the physical side of sex. The World may focus too little on the emotional side of sex, but they typically are a lot more skilled in the physical part, which is where I believe most Christians are lacking. If someone is an unmarried Christian and a virgin then I understand that you can’t expect them to have skill and experience in that area… but they ought to have the mindset that they WANT to be really good in bed once they do get married, and they should RIGHTFULLY expect to find and marry another Christian who also has the same perspective on sex.

SURE, by all means focus on how to have the best kind of well rounded sex possible (meaning, good emphasis on the physical, emotional, and spiritual parts of it equally). I support that, but what do you see out in the world all the time? “15 secrets to blow your husband’s mind in bed” or “How to give her multiple orgasms”, etc, etc. Now how often do you hear of any kind of Christian material targeted to married couples or those who are preparing for marriage, which focuses on how to be good in bed? I’d expect to hear crickets chirping right about now, because I’ve rarely heard of any such material, and most of the time only on some Christian TV show where they interview a Christian expert on marriage who has written a book about how to help your sex life.

It’s great that they are out there, but I bet only a few percent of the Christians who NEED that knowledge and experience and advice will happen to find another Christian who knows what they are talking about who teaches on the nitty gritty details of intimacy. Again, I think they SHOULD teach on tips for helping with the emotional and spiritual connection part of sex, but make sure that they adequately teach the kinds of physical techniques, skills, etc that the WORLD teaches (excluding anything that we as Christians would know obviously constitutes sin, like swinging, threesomes or orgies, watching porn together as a couple, homosexuality, and POSSIBLY anal sex… most Christians including myself believe that the Bible says that anal sex is a sin (aka sodomy).

Other than that, any kind of sadomasechistec stuff would be off the table but thats about it. I’m getting graphic here, but… this is a blog called “The Taboo Christian” for a reason. I’m saying what needs to be said without sugar coating so that readers truly understand the seriousness of what I’m teaching. If the sex is “rough” but in a playful and passionate way that both the husband and wife consent to then that isn’t a sin… I mean… slapping the person in the face would definitely be a sin, even if somehow the one being slapped consented, but a playful spank probably wouldn’t be wrong… it all has to do with respect to the other person is what I’m trying to get at. “Hard and fast” isn’t a sin, in fact it makes it much more enjoyable for both parties most of the time, but calling the person bad names or intentionally trying to humiliate them as a way to get off obviously would be a sin because it’s mean and disrespectful. I could think of some more graphic examples that still apply here but I think you all should be able to get the point I’m getting to now.

I just want you folks to understand that in my past experience (only with my wife when we were married and still together) and in the experiences of a lot of other people, there is a much deeper and stronger emotional connection between a man and a woman who have just finished having some crazy “all out, giving it everything we’ve got” kind of sex, than the kind of connection that comes after some mediocre sex where the woman just laid on the bed with her legs open and thats it, and the man just casually performed his part of the intercourse without any thought behind what he could do to pleasure his wife more, where there were no sexy (yet non-sinful) words spoken to each other, and both people seemed to just be going through the motions.

Don’t get me wrong, using the ice cream analogy, “Vanilla” is good, and everyone should have it, but if “Vanilla” is the only flavor of ice cream you ever eat, and you eat it often, it will lose it’s appeal after a while. The IDEAL marriage should have a regular rotation of “ice cream flavors” in their sex life to keep things as exciting as possible for both parties and to ensure that both the husband and wife each get equal amounts of emotional and physical satisfaction. If one person is constantly getting more satisfaction than the other, resentment will become inevitable in the one who is getting less satisfaction… it will make them feel like their spouse isn’t putting in the same amount of effort or care, and this will strain the relationship.

I believe that EVERY Christian, when they are single or dating and trying to see if someone is right for marriage with them, they ought to have a detailed discussion with the person they are dating about what their sexual expectations/needs/wants are WITHIN the confines of marriage… basically saying “Hypothetically speaking, if we DID end up getting to the point where we got married, once we were married, what would the sexual side of our relationship be like? You know, like, how often, what are your must haves, what are your ‘absolutely nots’, how big of a priority would sex and physical affection of any kind be to you?, etc.”

Of course you need to use wisdom as to when the appropriate time to discuss these matters is, but it should be sometime within the first few months of dating, because no matter how great a person is in all other areas, if you are incompatible sexually, you will almost NEVER be able to have a healthy marriage. It will almost always be virtually impossible to prevent sexual temptation/sin within a marriage if both spouses are not having their sexual needs and desires adequately fulfilled. That is why it’s so important to not go more than a few months of dating someone before bringing up that discussion, because if the discussion reveals that you aren’t a match in that area, you want to respectfully wish them a good life and say farewell, because it will almost always be a trap from the devil if you go ahead and marry that person anyway.

Now, I understand that most Christian books and websites and teachers who teach on relationships and sex emphasize the point that no one should be pressured or coerced into doing something that they don’t want to do or that feels uncomfortable to them. I agree with that, in the sense that forced anything is wrong… but to say that it’s wrong for anyone to ever expect their spouse to do anything that’s uncomfortable for them is telling a partial truth with a distorted lens. In fact, it’s almost wrong, because one of the most loving things one person could do for another is to do something that is of great benefit to the receiver, even if it’s uncomfortable or sacrificial for the giver.

Without going into too much detail, when I married “Rebecca” I was a virgin (though I’d pushed the boundaries and done some sexual sin prior to marriage that just wasn’t “going all the way”) and “Rebecca” was not a virgin, though I overlooked it and tried to view her through eyes of grace because she had positively changed her beliefs on sexual purity prior to us meeting. Well, there was something she pretty much insisted that I do to her during sex that I’d never really thought about doing before, and it required me to do some things that were physically uncomfortable for me in order to accomplish what she wanted me to do. HOWEVER, I learned to handle it and I got used to it and over time I could do it for longer and longer periods of time before having to stop that one “technique” for certain muscles/joints/tendons to have a break.

I never complained to her that certain parts of my body hurt when doing this technique for her… I knew that it made her feel really good and I realized that it was something that could help me make her have an orgasm almost guaranteed every time, and the more I did this “technique” the faster I could make her reach climax. So I used this to my advantage for her benefit. Granted, she never did anything of comparable effort in return for me, for my benefit, and while I resented that, I still kept giving her everything I had when we had sex, to try to give her as enjoyable of an experience as possible even though she wasn’t willing to put forth the same effort in return to please me. I was doing unto her what I wished to be done unto me, in a sense.

The point I’m making here is that a spouse who is mature and genuinely loving will do everything they can to make their significant other feel insanely good during sex even if it makes the one performing the technique feel psychologically uncomfortable or if it causes bearable pain. If something causes unbearable pain then it’s understandable that it is going to be a NO, but if it is somewhat painful for the giver but still something they could stand to do for a few minutes in order to bless their spouse, then they OUGHT to be willing to go to that great of lengths to please their spouse. It doesn’t have to be that way all of the time. Of course sex is supposed to be mutually enjoyable, but no one ever said sex was supposed to be mutually enjoyable 100% of the time. A well balanced, healthy sex life will alternate between mutual enjoyability, and times where one person only enjoys it a little bit and the other enjoys it a TON!

I truly believe that both inside and outside of the bedroom, one spouse temporarily sacrificing their comfort for the benefit of the other (then expecting the spouse they just blessed to return the favor) is MORE loving than two spouses who compromise on their sexual wishes and desires so that neither one has to step out of their comfort zone. If a husband and wife compromise and say “well I want these 7 things but because you don’t want to do all 7 I’ll be ok with the 4 that you didn’t say no to” even though it seems like a considerate thing to do, one person will be having to go with certain desires chronically unfulfilled and the other spouse will be essentially saying in their heart “I love you, but I don’t love you enough to be willing to do EVERYTHING that you want in bed, because some of those things are just too weird or intimidating.”

While most of you probably haven’t thought about that, I’m sure it will hit home with a lot of people. If your spouse isn’t willing to ever do anything that they are uncomfortable with in order to make your life more enjoyable, then they don’t FULLY love you. If God audibly, clear as day, told us every step and action that He wanted us to take every single day of our lives, and if we said “I’ll do 60% of what You are telling me to do” then we are only loving Him with 60% of our whole selves and 40% of us is being disobedient to Him. If we said “Some of those things you are telling me to do sound really hard or scary but I’ll do the very best that I can” then I think God would probably be pretty lenient on you if you didn’t do everything 100% perfect, because He saw that you tried your very best and were almost at the 100% mark. You see? It’s the same way with our spouses.

Of course there are exceptions to this rule regarding marriage but the vast majority of the time there is no truly justifiable reason for one spouse to say “NO” to the other one, either inside or outside of the bedroom. There has to be some very extreme obvious reason to refuse to obey, like “I want to go buy a $900 purse/big screen TV/superbowl tickets, etc on a credit card that only has $1000 credit limit even though we can’t afford it without the credit card.” Or it’d have to be something like “I want to pee on your face” or “hang you upside down and whip you” or some other kind of just absurd request/demand! Sorry if that last one was a bit shocking but I’m just saying… though I’ve heard of some horrible sexual stuff among twisted lost folks, there’s not that many sexual activities that I believe God would want us to refuse to do if our spouse told us they wanted them. I know that may come as a shock to some Christians reading this but I’m serious.

Us refusing to do something for our spouse in or out of the bedroom that doesn’t have some extreme justification for saying no to is just as bad as if God heavily lays upon your heart to give $20 to a homeless person and you refuse to do so anyway even though you’ve already paid all of your bills and have $400 extra left over. Actually it’s probably worse because the Bible doesn’t say that we should submit to our spouses ONLY when we feel like it, or ONLY when we WANT to do what they ask of us. Christ did lots of things for our benefit that were either troublesome or painful for Him, and He also states in His Word that we as the church (His Bride) are to be obedient to Him in everything that He commands us. Jesus may still love us even when we refuse to obey Him, but us refusing to obey what He asks of us does place a strain on our relationship with Him, and it can cause us to experience Him withholding certain blessings from us that He will ONLY give us when we are very obedient to Him.

We as humans may never be able to obey everything God commands in His Word 100% of the time, but we can get to the point where we are obedient to all of His commands almost 100% of the time. Until we each get to that point we should be doing the best we can to grow towards that point of holy living. The way that Christ sacrificed in many ways for His bride’s benefit (the Christians of the world), and the way that Christ expects us to be totally obedient to Him AND sternly corrects those within the Church who don’t try their best to obey His commands, THIS is the model of how husbands and wives should be to each other. Loving and patient but also stern when necessary about the seriousness of the pain or trouble they may be causing by refusing to obey them or God’s commands, so that they will hopefully wake up and improve themselves to be better spouses and Christians.

Again, reemphasizing what I’ve said in the past (I think on this blog anyway), I believe that there is one goal that most of the people of the world and most Christians share in common (and rightfully should). What is that goal? Virtually everyone, lost or saved, wants a spouse or life companion who will do everything they ask for in bed. Really. It might even seem obvious to a lot of people after hearing it, but seriously… in the world, a person who’s spouse or partner gives them EVERYTHING they ask for in bed is considered to be EXTREMELY blessed or lucky. Most Christians won’t talk about it, but I believe that most would privately agree that having a spouse who gave them complete sexual fulfillment (of all of their dreams and desires) would be on par with becoming a millionaire or being gifted a Mansion, with a big swimming pool, a Rolls Royce, and a Rolex, all grouped together into one big gift. I think a lot of Christians who DO happen to be wealthy would secretly agree that they’d be happy to part with large portions of their money just to get an “upgrade” in their bedroom experience with their spouse. Even though it may be rarely talked about in the Christian community, it’s a REALLY BIG DEAL to Christians just as much as it is in the world, or at least it should be… at least I’d expect it to be.

It very well may be that a lot of Christians agree with what I just said in their heart, but they also would find it too scary to talk so candidly about those things with their spouse or spouse-to-be, so they keep quiet about their sexual unfulfillment or they keep quiet about their expectations in that area going into marriage. I think this is a grave mistake, but it’s understandable. The Christian church and society as a whole has placed such a heavy (but right) emphasis on sexual purity that talking about sexually explicit things in the RIGHT circumstances and for the RIGHT reasons is too frightening and seemingly taboo to most Christians, and I think that the devil plays off of that to keep Christians from having the best kind of sex life that they can possibly have (which is also still in line with God’s laws and statutes that is).

I think satan WANTS Christians to have crappy sex lives in the hopes that it will make them more likely to fall into sexual sin of any sort (porn, physical adultery, lust toward someone they aren’t married to, or even just emotional adultery). I think so many Christians are scared to say it, but the answer to the growing LUST/PORN/AFFAIR epidemic both in the world and in the Christian community is……. master the art of sex within a marriage, with both spouses putting forth equal effort. That’s it! That’s all there is to it! That doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything that needs to be done regarding communication within the relationship or priorities and time management, etc, etc, but if someone is satisfied sexually, then even if other areas of their relationship are hurting they will still be unlikely to cheat mentally or physically.

This blog entry has been longer than I originally intended it to be, and also more gritty and shocking than I originally intended it to be, but I felt like it was what people NEED to hear, whether or not they WANT to hear it. Many of the truths that Jesus and the prophets that came before Him told to the masses were offensive, shocking, or too hard for most to accept. However, those who DID listen and heed their words experienced the blessings and fruit of the Godly wisdom that was contained within what they said. While some of the things I’ve said thus far and some of the things I’ll say in future blog entries may not always SOUND Godly, I am in fact using Godly wisdom to discuss and address topics that are so uncomfortable or hard to hear that most preachers refuse to teach on them. I am not a preacher but I am teaching people what they NEED to learn, whether they recognize that they need to know it or not. I am teaching people what they OUGHT to know, even if some of it is uncomfortable for them to hear.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you can take what you’ve learned in this blog entry today and apply it to your life in a meaningful way.

Until next time,

If I Was a Christian Woman In Today’s Age

2/14/2019

I’m a man… but I know what I’d ask for if I could “design” my dream woman. And I’m about to spell out what that would look like. But that exact same thing that I’m about to describe is the exact same way that I would WANT to be if I was in fact a young Christian Woman living in today’s day and age. Not only would I want to be like what I’m about to describe, but I believe that God would WANT me to be like that for the benefit of His Kingdom and people.

If I was a young Christian woman in today’s day and age, I would maximize whatever external beauty I was born with. If I was overweight, I’d do everything I could to lose the excess weight, and get a head turning, eye popping figure. I’d pay close attention to my make up, hair and clothing style, yet I’d dress modestly. I’d try to be as hot as I possibly could look on the outside while still dressing modestly.

I would simultaneously focus on transforming my inside, my character and my nature into the most appealing inner character to God and to men. I’d look at people right where they are, and judge people fairly. If I met a guy who was fat and smelly and dressed bad, I’d have pity on him but I’d also recognize that unless he lacks the money to fix those things, it’s his responsibility to fix up his external qualities to the best of his ability. I’d be loving to everyone who was nice to me, and I’d do the best I could to restrain my tongue around people who mistreated me, though I’d put my foot down when I really needed to.

I would focus on being a holy person. I’d be careful about what kind of music I listened to, and if there were some songs I liked that had a little bit of bad stuff in them, I’d listen to them sparingly and try to ignore the little bit of bad stuff that was in them, or I’d rewrite the song in my own way and record it myself in my own new version. I wouldn’t listen to certain music or watch certain TV shows or movies or read certain books just because they were popular among my friends. I’d also be careful about who I chose to be friends with and how much time I spent around them. I’d learn all the ins and outs of spiritual warfare and what I need to do to protect myself and my future husband and children from spiritual attack, though I’d look for a man who knew and agreed and acted upon these principles too.

I’d start preparing myself from a young age, perhaps 12 or 13, to master all the skills and develop all of the inner and outer qualities I needed to be a good wife for whatever man I’d marry one day. I’d make it my goal to be as mature and ready as possible to be ready for marriage right out of high school, just in case I meet the man of my dreams (or… who God wants for me) early on in life. I would cautiously but with a genuine heart, learn all of the sexual things I needed to know to be a good wife, including my willingness to selflessly give to my husband and let him do whatever he wants with/to me as long as it’s not something evil or abusive, because that is what God tells me in His Word that He wants me to do. That is an extremely important part of being a good wife in the eyes of my husband and God. Even if my girl friends ridiculed me and said that I should try to control my man in the bedroom and make him beg and plead for what he wants and then only give him a little bit of it… I’d tell them “get ye behind me satan” because that’s exactly who that manipulative mindset comes from.

After I’d gotten all of that stuff together, I’d go out and find a man who I could tell was truly deserving and good on the inside. I mean, if he was just straight up ugly and didn’t try at all to look good and have good hygiene, that’s one thing. But as long as the guy is DECENT looking and has a good heart on the inside and good Godly character, I’d pick him. Even if I was a 10 by the world’s standards of outer beauty, I’d pick a man who was a 5 on the outside if he was good enough on the inside. I would be generous and giving of myself in a way that the world isn’t. I’d go looking for a guy who deserved a gorgeous woman by his side for life, not because of his money or good job or humor or muscles, but because he was a kind of man on the inside that God likes and wants him to be like. I’d pick a guy who, if he was good on the inside, would be a guy who a lot of the women in today’s world would overlook or call a “nice guy” or wrongfully label a creep because he’s a shy nerd. I’d go deep down to the inner most core of my being and say “you know, this guy deserves a hot, loving and loyal woman by his side. And most women in the world today who are as hot as me would never give this guy the time of day… but I am. I’m going to be different. I’m going to be a blessing to this guy, an answer from heaven to his long, tear filled prayers, crying out to God for a good woman.”

I’d take pride in knowing that he DESERVED the best kind of woman because of his inner qualities and Godly character. I’d be generous and loving to him and stick by his side no matter what. As long as he wasn’t being lazy, I’d understand that God was controlling his finances and that if this man can’t buy me all the things I want, well… it’s God’s doing… God is controlling his income and I have to be patient and wait on God to bless this man with the ability to give me what I want, or I’ll trust in God to give me things that I want through other avenues than by my husband’s wallet. But I’ll love him just as much in the mean time while I wait. I won’t hold it against him if or when we struggle, as long as I can tell this man was trying his best. Once we were married, I’d give him the best sex I could possibly give, and I’d constantly try to figure out ways to get even better every week, month and year until I’m so good that my husband begs me to stop because it feels just too dang good to where he can’t breathe and feels like he’s going to have a heart attack if I don’t give him a break ;)

Why would I place such a heavy emphasis on the sex? Because me giving the best sex that I possibly can to my husband would be me doing God’s work to the best of my ability… and it’s the same with the tables turned. A man giving his wife the best sex possible is him doing God’s work to the best of his ability! You see, I’ll LIKELY get some flack for saying this, but it still needs to be said nonetheless, and this is a VERY TABOO TRUTH…

Christian women feel so defensive about men watching porn because not only is it a sin and mental adultery, but the women feel like it will mess up their relationship. And, that is kind of true, but it’s not so cut and dry. You see, the REAL ROOT issue here is that in most cases, men would see the women in the porn and start resenting their wife because she wont DO the things for him that the woman in the porn is doing. People love to say that porn is unrealistic, but really in most cases, it IS realistic, because what’s being done in the film is REAL… but people call it “unrealistic” because they don’t want to do the things that they might see in the porn. Now I get it, that some of that stuff is horrible, but a lot of it is just “freaky” stuff that might seem odd, but would be really enjoyable if people could just let their guard down. I’m not promoting or endorsing porn or saying it’s ok, but what I’ve just said IS the truth! You see, if a Christian man watches porn he usually comes to feel like the woman in the porno cares more about pleasing some random hell-bound devil man than the Christian man’s own wife cares about his pleasure!

The thing is, in most cases, whatever the woman is doing in the porn wouldn’t be a sin within a marriage… and the key here is that the woman in the porn is usually trying REALLY REALLY HARD to do the best that she can so she’ll be admired more, get paid more, whatever. The problem isn’t as much that the Christian man becomes dissatisfied with his wife… the main problem is that the wife won’t do the kind of things for her husband in the bedroom that the women in the porno’s are doing. Again… it is often the case that the woman in the porno is more motivated to please the man in the porno, and the Christian wife is often less motivated to give her husband maximum pleasure. If a Christian wife was willing to go to the ends of the earth to do whatever her husband wanted in bed, or if she would surprise him by doing things for him that he didn’t even KNOW he would want or like, he would most likely NEVER have a problem with wandering eyes or temptation to watch pornography because he’d be getting everything he needed right at home from his wife. Then the man should be gracious enough to return the favor back to his wife and give her his maximum effort in pleasing her.

The Bible places such a heavy emphasis on wives submitting to their husbands and upon both spouses giving each other sex whenever they need it because it’s to prevent sexual temptation and sin and adultery (mental or physical) in the other spouse. Again, I believe that every Christian man who struggles with sexual temptation and/or watching porn does so ONLY because he either doesn’t have a wife, or he has a wife who isn’t giving him that great of an experience in the bedroom. I’m not saying that porn is ok. I know it’s a sin. But what I just said really is the core truth of the matter. I guarantee that in almost 100% of cases, if a man has a wife who is good in bed and gives it to him often, he will NEVER be tempted to watch porn, stare at other women or fantasize about other women. While this might be shocking for some people to hear, if a Christian woman makes it a high priority to take care of her man in the bedroom, she will be HELPING him be a better Christian, a more Godly husband and father. If the man does the same in return for her, then HE helps her be a better Christian and wife as well.

Having a good marriage is dependent upon a lot of other things besides just sex, but I think sex is UNDER-EMPHASIZED in it’s importance on making a marriage strong, healthy and keeping both the husband and wife pure. Even with all that said, if they live like dirty rats and blow all the money on irresponsible things and wont change, divorce becomes almost inevitable. A lot of people now days just lack a lot of common sense of how to live right and have a responsible life, but the rewards are FANTASTIC for those who put forth the effort to do their best in every area of their lives and find someone who does the same.

I hope you take all of this to heart and learn and grow from it, even if parts of it offended you.

Take care,

A Realization About God’s Timing

Hey everyone. “Luke Davidson” here, and I’m sorry if I’ve said this already and forgot about it, but I just want to make sure I get this out there.

Back in January of 2018 when I had my Supernatural Vision and Prophesy (which I believe was from God... you can read all about it by clicking this link here), I remember God telling me that I would be 33 and my future wife would be 29 when we get married. I’m 30 now, and I still haven't met HER yet (”Kristen”, or some other spelling of that name). At that time, I accepted it, but God never told me when she and I would meet. Well, I must have pestered God about it enough because eventually, a few weeks later after my vision, I finally heard Him speak something to me about when my future wife and I would meet. He said that I would meet her soon after my 31st Birthday. Now, that was a relief, but at the same time, I was still 28 at the time I heard that, so 31 still seemed like a long time away back then. I used to wonder “God WHY do I have to wait until then to meet her? Why can’t I meet her NOW?!” I knew deep down inside what the answer was going to be, even before He said it, and I knew it was true and necessary even though I still wished I could have met her right away. The reason? God was/is preparing us for each other, doing all the things in us that He needs to do and work on in order to get us right for each other. When I kept bugging God in prayer and asking over and over WHY I couldn’t just meet her right away, even if He was still working on us, God told me “you wouldn’t like her as much if you met her right now versus if you have to wait on my timing. Also, there are some things about you that she wouldn't like if she met you right now. You will like each other a whole lot more when you meet according to my timing. Also, don’t even bother trying to find her online. You won't. You will not find her prematurely. Again, remember, she will be looking for you, and you will meet exactly when I said you would, soon after your 31st Birthday.” I still hated the waiting, but I had to accept it and move on and focus on improving my life and following God’s commands the best I could in the meantime.

There was something else though that I didn’t become aware of until more recently. That was the whole Coronavirus pandemic/shutdown thing. I had NO idea that something like this was going to happen, and I’m sure Kristen(*sp) didn’t know either. But God did! He knew how all of this, and the crazy politics and the effects on church gatherings and on the economy, etc was going to affect our movements and advancements in each of our lives. So God knew that all of the stuff related to COVID-19 was going to play a role in the timing of me meeting my future wife. God knew how many months all of this stuff was/is going to affect us and I know that He is using this time to finish His “refinement” of me and Kristen(*sp) until it’s time for us to find each other, someway somehow.

I AM going to start doing paid advertising for this blog, my website, the Taboo Christian Facebook page, and my book, all of which contain things that mention my story, my Vision and Prophesy from a few years ago, etc. Part of me thinks that my future wife who God prophesied to me (Kristen*sp) will find me through one of the paid advertisements or through people sharing my content on social media. However, another part of me believes that God may use some other way to bring she and I together that is completely unconnected to this story/blog/brand being promoted on social media or the internet. I have no idea where/how God may choose to bring she and I together if it’s not through the internet, but I’ll just have to wait and see.

Again, you can click this link here to read the whole story about my vision and prophesy back in January of 2018. If you prefer to watch it in VIDEO form, you can click here instead.

Prayers For My Future Wife

Every time I go to church or a Christian home gathering and there is worship music, I pray for my future wife, the one who God gave me the prophetic vision of in 2018. I pray for God to touch her right then and there, wherever she is and whatever she is doing, that He would cause her to strongly feel His tangible presence, that Holy Spirit “Euphoria” that only Christians know, that feels unique and more pleasurable than any drug or orgasm. I pray that in that moment as we are worshiping and praying, that God will let my future wife (Kristen*sp*) know that I’m thinking about her, praying for her, that I love her and that I can’t wait to be in a relationship with her. Some of you may find that strange, but God gave me very specific instructions about what my future wife would be like on the inside and what many different aspects of our romantic relationship would be like. I hope that when I finally meet Kristen(*sp*) and start getting to know her, that she’ll be able to tell me that she did feel it when I was praying for her and sending her little hugs and kisses through the spirit realm.

Again, if you haven’t heard the story of how that happened yet, you can read my blog post here to learn all about it.

After you give it a read, let me know what you think!

PPS: If you think you KNOW a woman named “Kristen”(sp) who seems to match what my blog post and book discuss, please her the links to them, or contact me about it... or both! God told me an approximate timeline of when she and I are going to meet, He even said that she was going to be looking for me, but He didn’t say WHERE/HOW she would find me. You could play a part in that :)

Thank you Jesus that we don’t have to work our way into heaven! I know we should still try to put forth a sincere effort to follow God’s rules as laid out in the Bible (mainly only the New Testament applies to us now), but Jesus never tells us that we’ll go to hell if our “good-deeds/sin ratio” isn’t high enough.

Most Churches Are Good, But A Few Are Cults... Here’s Ones To Avoid

Over the years I’ve attended many different types of churches (denominations) and I’ve heard many different beliefs expressed. Some churches believe that miracles and supernatural events are/should be common in the life of Christians. Other denominations believe that supernatural stuff died out 2000+ years ago after Jesus’ original disciples died. Some even believe that the supernatural events described in the Bible never took place, that they were just inspiring stories.

While there is a certain amount of study and thought that should go into what position to take on your beliefs about supernatural things, some churches take it too far, and some add ridiculous man-made rules. I don’t know all of the different denominations that are dangerous and wrong, but I can tell you for SURE one denomination of church that no one should EVER attend… and that is an Independent Fundamental Baptist or New Independent Fundamental Baptist church. These might as well be almost lumped in with “Westboro Baptist Church” known for protesting soldiers’ funerals with “God hates fags” signs!

What people who are unfamiliar with Independent Fundamental Baptists (IFB’s) need to understand is that they operate about as close to a true cult as possible without actually calling themselves one. They are NOT like most other kinds of churches you’d find down town in any city (such as Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, Non-Denominational, Etc.). “IFB’s” believe in a BUNCH of stuff that isn’t actually in the Bible, or things that are gross misinterpretations of things that are in the Bible. While most churches acknowledge that a lot of Bible verses can have multiple meanings or applications in somebody’s life, “IFB’s” believe that everything is literal and ONLY applied to that particular time and place in which it was originally written.

Anyone who is Spiritual in nature, and Christian specifically, should be able to recognize that God can take a particular verse or few, and reveal it to someone at just the right time in their life to teach them just the right lesson, often times encouragement for the future of some sort.

Most Christians recognize that God can use Jeremiah 29:11 to help and reach TONS of people all over the world and all throughout history. Jeremiah 29:11 says “ “For I know the plans I have for you”, says the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to hurt you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” ” While this is something that God spoke directly to Jeremiah thousands of years ago, Christians know that if they are sincere, faithful, and as obedient as possible to the Bible’s moral commands, that God will do the same thing for them… that is, give them a good and prosperous future. That doesn’t mean that problems and disappointments will NEVER happen, but it means that as a whole, looking over the whole course of their life, people could see that God shaped their life to have a lot more good things than trouble.

What “IFB’s” teach however, is that Jeremiah 29:11 ONLY applied to Jeremiah thousands of years ago and that any one thinking that that verse can apply to them in modern times is deceived and a fool and will likely experience nothing but disappointment. Independent Fundamental Baptists are like the “Eeyores” of Christianity, and they border on not being Christian at all with some of their beliefs. Yes, they believe that if you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and if you ask Him to be the Lord of your life and ask Him to save your soul then you will go to heaven, so they are true Christians in THAT regard, but they basically are the “skeptical scientists” of the Christian faith. They believe the opposite of what they call the “Prosperity Gospel” though that is the wrong term to use for those kind of Christians anyway. The point is, “IFB’s” believe that God doesn’t care one bit about how much money you have or how poor you are or aren’t and they believe that God doesn’t care about your happiness or your dreams or aspirations… they believe that God is just up there in the sky with a lightning bolt in His hand just waiting for a chance to catch anyone sinning so He can reign down havoc upon their life. They believe that we can pray to God all day long asking for a financial miracle and that God will still sit there and let people suffer poverty forever because they believe that God believes that “the inside character of their heart is the only thing He cares about.”

What a load of hogwash! Sure, God may not always give everyone all of the money they pray for all of the time, but God does do all sorts of things to give material and relationship blessings to those who love Him, trust Him to bless them, and are as obedient as possible to His Word’s moral commands. God DOES care about our financial situation, and His Word is full of stuff talking about how poverty and sickness are curses, and how riches, good health and good relationships are gifts/blessings from Him. God basically says it’s good to be rich (if you make and manage it in an uncorrupt manner) and He says that He doesn’t want to see people sick and struggling and starving to death. However, most of the time God gives us guidance as to what decisions to make for our lives to turn out successful and it’s up to us to listen to His guidance and act on it. Most of the time God doesn’t make wealth appear overnight or healing come instantly, though He does do those things sometimes, I’d say to at least a handful of people around the world every day, probably more.

The point is, the Independent Fundamental Baptists believe that God doesn’t care about your prosperity or your health, that the King James Bible is the ONLY proper form of Bible and that all other translations are from the devil, they believe that any amount of alcohol is a sin even though the Bible has many places where it says drinking in moderation is acceptable in God’s eyes and sometimes even encourages it. They believe that supernatural healing, praying/speaking in tongues, raising people from the dead, and other miracles no longer exist, that they only happened during Bible times, when there are TONS of cases of such things happening all over the world today.

“IFB’s” normally have a “wolf in sheeps clothing” type of personality, and believe that their denomination is superior to all the other ones and that God is more pleased with them than with other denominations. “IFB’s” usually have a strict chain of command and anyone who questions anything that the pastor believes/preaches is labeled a heretic or kicked out of the church. They say when you are joining as a member that you must agree with 100% of their “Beliefs Statement” in order to be a member, that even if there is one thing you disagree with then you cannot become a member. There are other denominations of Christian Churches that do this, but most are not so strict as to kick out someone for not agreeing with 100% of what a pastor says.

In another post, I’ll discuss the topic of Marijuana and Christianity, where I’ll talk about the unfortunate truth that most denominations have ZERO acceptance of marijuana or hemp being useful as medicine. Also, most churches do not realize that according to the Bible, using LIGHT doses of Marijuana or any other plant for occasional recreation is NOT considered a sin. Unfortunately, I’ve only found one pastor and a few individual Christians here and there that believe this truth that I’ve just shared, or at least are willing to say it publicly. Most have either fallen for flawed government propaganda or they or someone they know used marijuana in their younger years and got really high from it and it freaked them out so they figure it MUST be a sin, not considering that DOSAGE and what you do while on the drug determines if it’s a sin or not for each individual. While I support drug addicts getting free, I believe that those who DO NOT have a problem with addiction should be free to use different drugs (primarily natural ones) responsibly for a variety of reasons that are obviously not sinful. Any notion of drugs being sinful when NOT being abused is straight man-made demonic doctrine inspired by the devil to take away plants from the people of the world who could benefit from them (God’s intended uses for those plants).

Most Christians who do believe that Marijuana or other powerful plants are ok to use in God’s eyes with certain rules in place, are too afraid to voice their opinion because they’d be excommunicated from their church and by their peers for voicing an opinion that Christians for the past 1900 years or so would have agreed with. There is NO history that can be found anywhere of ANY church being against marijuana, mushrooms, peyote, etc UNTIL the early 20th century. There were a few Christian groups against opium in the 1800′s but that’s it… most Christians of ancient times regarded intoxicants as powerful medicinal tools which God created which should be respected, not prohibited. While they surely would have said getting drunk/smashed off of anything is a sin, they likely wouldn’t have said that ANY amount for ANY reason is a sin. I’ll get into all of that later in a dedicated post about “Christianity and Intoxicants”.

So, now that I’ve outlined what a awful, cult-like church looks like, let me explain what a GOOD church who’s truly like Christ looks like:

Good, true churches that stick closely to what the Bible says are welcoming, friendly to all, generally encouraging, and care about helping the poor, widowed, disabled and those in prison. True Christian churches will teach everything that the Word of God says, but they will do so with a proper understanding of what each verse and words meant back when it was originally written, how those things apply today, and being understanding about stepping on people’s toes. A good, true Christian church will teach the WHOLE truth of the Bible even if parts of it do offend people, BUT the church will touch on sensitive/offensive topics in a way that is as kind, gentle and as understanding as possible. True Christian churches will teach on Biblical sexuality, but they will explain “these are the reasons WHY God said for us to do/not do these things regarding sex, but it is ultimately your life and your choice and if you don’t like some of what the Bible is saying about these things then we advise you to pray to God, be honest and vent your frustrations to Him, and ask Him to explain everything to you in a way that you can easily understand. Ask God to help transform you to be able to accept whatever changes He lays upon your heart that He wants you to make in your life. These things that He lays upon your heart will come through prayer and studying the Bible.”

A true Christian church SHOULD understand that things like alcohol, tobacco and most drugs are neutral issues, things that God will have to address individually to each person’s heart. However, in today’s day and age most churches that are otherwise GOOD Christ-like examples are lacking in that area. God knows that some people can properly handle alcohol, marijuana, etc without overdoing it, and God knows that others will become slaves to those things. But church members and pastors shouldn’t judge ANYONE for what foods or substances they put in their body unless there are major signs of their life deteriorating from it, because God will convict some people of such things and not convict the hearts of others. It all has to do with how their use of those substances is affecting their life. God likely doesn’t care that much about a college student loading up on Adderall (Amphetamines) to cram for an exam or finish a final project on time.

God probably doesn’t care that much about anyone using marijuana as a sleep aid or in reasonable quantities for pain relief. God also probably doesn’t care that much about someone using opiates for pain relief as long as they don’t start taking unnecessarily large quantities just to get high. Even if people did these things without a prescription (which is illegal) God STILL probably wouldn’t give a “rat’s booty” about them doing so, because God knows that the above listed uses of those drugs have minimal harm to the body vs great improvement of that person’s quality of life, as long as they don’t overdose. I do believe, however, that God WOULD have issue if someone was letting the drugs control their entire life and if they had no legitimate medical need to stay on something like that long term. God does miraculously heal some people but many for reasons that are hard to understand, are stuck having to depend on drugs for relief from health problems because God doesn’t heal them supernaturally, and those people shouldn’t be harassed by the Church because they have a medical necessity for a drug that the church doesn’t like.

Also, I’m not convinced that God supports ANYTHING being prescription! I believe that if God got to directly speak and say what laws he wanted to govern our modern world right now, He would get rid of prescription requirements and drug banning. I believe this because God knows there are plenty of people who could use different medicines properly without a prescription, even though the government thinks otherwise. If prescriptions didn’t exist, all the average joes and janes of this world would have to simply study a drug to learn how it works, it’s risks/benefits, interactions and how to use them properly. If someone failed to do their due diligence and research prior to taking a drug then if things went sour and they got sick or died from it then it would be their own fault for being a fool and not exercising common sense. That way, people who ARE educated enough could use any drug for any reason without any government restriction (aside from driving under the influence laws). That wouldn’t mean that no one would SIN following this system, but the people who needed the medicines and were smart enough to use them safely would have unrestricted access to whatever they needed whenever they needed, and there’d be a lot less sickness and disease and misery in this world if that were the case. In this world today, there are TONS of people who need prescriptions for certain drugs but CANT get them or have to suffer weeks or months while they wait to get approved for a prescription for something they really needed on day 1 of their health problem. I bet for every one person who has a prescription for a given drug, there are 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 more people out there who need that drug but can’t get a prescription for it because of messed up, ignorant government regulations.

Abraham Lincoln once said that one of his favorite ways to relax after work or on the weekends was to sit on his porch, smoke a pipe full of hemp and play the harmonica. Did God view him as in sin for doing this… probably not. Is smoking good for your body? No. But did people know that in the 1800′s? No. Do many smokers of tobacco or marijuana live just as long if not longer than many non-smokers? Yes! So try to keep everything in balance and perspective, in the big picture, the next time you think about judging someone. That’s not to say that no one should ever judge anyone for any reason, but for things such as responsible drinking, smoking, having tattoos (unless they are evil images), etc… those are issues of minimal importance in the long run, in the big picture.

Now that you’ve seen examples of what the “wrong kind of Christian” and the right kind of Christian look like, you’ll begin to realize that the “right” kind of Christians are growing steadily while the “wrong” kind are steadily declining. While the “marijuana friendly” churches are rare right now, there are many churches who are “right” and Christ-like in pretty much every other way who you should support or be a part of, if you aren’t already.

Have a good one!

Until next time,
