Last week I shared a post of Positive Knowing Thoughts to serve as an “Encouragement”. Today I am having a ‘Heart of Hearts’ feeling to share a post to uplift and encourage those who are in need. This post shall be called:”The Sovernity The Of The Creator-Inspire thyself To Only Believe.

“Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified” {Matthew 26:2]

“And they crucified him, and parted his garments casting lots that it might fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets”. {Matthew 27:35}

Know That Jesus was put to death-for our deeds

He was Resurrected {raised] to secured our Justification

In the process He Absolved us from guilt before God

Such is all about embracing ‘Faith’

Thus, through ‘Faith’ we can tap into and connect to the

Kingdom of God

There where Jesus sits at the right hand of the Heavenly Father.

So that we as believers are equipped to extend this in all of the Earth, as we witness and evangelize

Jesus promised us that by ‘Faith’ we can have greater powers

As Believers we must reach out to grasp and embrace it

So let’s Go Forth! in His name and make it a manifestation

Because it is Jesus’s desire that we Be Not concerned with alarm or struck with fear-Why? He is Emmanuel ‘God With Us'

We must be cognizant to only believe and to keep on trusting and believing in Him...

Thus it is wise and prudent to hold unto Belief. “Fear tolerated is Faith compromised”. Therefore, Keep up and be focused to know that the Lord is thy Shepherd. Ultimately meaning you, me, and all believers shall not lack for nothing-thus leaves no stone unturned or a reason to ‘fear’, Amen...

 JESUS MEETS A SAMARITAN WOMAN AT THE WELL

-During that time Jesus speaks to her likewise: “Give Me To Drink”

Then the woman of Samaria said to Jesus, “How is it that you being a Jew ask of me a woman of Samaria for a drink of water, my being a woman of mixed race of Samaria with a bad reputation, the Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus replied: “If you only knew what a wonderful gift God has for you, and who I am, you would ask me for a drink of Living Water!”

But Sir she said, “You don’t have a rope or a bucket this well is very deep, where would you get this Living Water;? Jesus said, The people soon become thirsty again after drinking this water, but the water I give you to drink you never thirst again because it is from a well of everlasting and eternal life”. The woman said, Please sir give me some of that water, so I won't ever have to thirst again, and I won’t have to make these trips out here every day to get water”

You see this story is found in the New Testament Bible {John 4:10-15}

When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well he told her of the Living Water that only he could supply. This is a powerful story to use to both witness and evangelize others to come and drink the Living Water Of Life. All people from everywhere can come and drink. Know that Salvation cannot be earned--But Know That God Can Give it Freely.

We are now living in a time where the Country, Nation, and Indeed the Whole World are desperately, in need of Living Water of Life. Many are dying of that sort of thirst. It’s Not Too Late. We must witness and evangelize to everyone we know and care about To Come and Drink.

Apostle John one of the Twelve disciples who walked and talked with Jesus was an “Eyewitness”. Therefore, reading about John’s eyewitness account is the next best thing to seeing the event yourself. He was inspired by God to write it down in the Book of Revelations. He wrote it so we could see and read about it as he did. So now that you’ve read this far, you have seen, and now that gives you a basis to have some belief.

In the next blog post lookout for a continuation follow-up that shall give insights and Intel with sub-titles:” God’s Sovereignty”, “God’s Faithful People”, and after that the final sub-titles: “Judgement” “Hope’, and “Christ Return in The Second Coming”. Amen

 CHANGES, CHANGES, AND MORE UNEXPECTED CHANGES ARE HAPPENING IN THIS 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BETWEEN HARRIS/WILTZ vs TRUMP/VANCE

-In particular, and Especially Harris vs Trump

Longtime Political Polyester, Frank Luntz recently wrote an article that begins with this narrative utterance proclamation: “Trump Is Committing Political Suicide” And Harris is Seizes the Intensity Advantage...” Luntz paints the picture that Trump is constantly ‘Melting’-due to his ongoing ‘meltdown’ occurrences at his rallies. While on the other hand, Harris is continually exuding and enjoying recent enthusiasm. It seems now that Biden has stepped down from being the nominee and endorsing Harris. She is reaching out touching and bringing on board new voters. She has managed to pique the interest of people who were not interested in voting for Biden or Trump. 

According to Luntz’s predictions, if Harris continues to create this sort of healthy enthusiasm. It shall more than likely allow the Democrats to regain control of the House of Representative, and maintain or even increase the advantage in the Senate.

HARRIS KEY COMPONENTS 

• She has gained quotient components of Intensity

• She seems to be Endowed with Intensity Advantage 

• Also she has garnered a Demographic Advantage

All of these Key Components have occurred over the past 30 days. To which Luntz says he has not seen or witnessed this in his lifetime

The Most Important Three Components:

• Attributes-Issues and Conditions of The Country

Such situations and circumstances Build Support and Shifts  Demographics. It also serves to shift entire outcomes.

The Issues that favor Trump should’ve had the Advantage. However, that is not the case. Why? possibly due to the ‘Attributes’ being overshadowed are so much in favor to for Harris. Case and point Harris’s ‘Attributes’ are somewhat powerful, in that, the undecided voters have collapsed toward and in Harris’s favor. The evidence leaning toward Harris is projecting a very strong appeal in the ‘Attributes’ genre of women and young adults from 27 years old and above.

Trump’s Political Suicide Issues:

• He Constantly Degrades People

• He Disrespect, Insults and throws Union Workers under the bus, and kicks them off the train

• He always Praises Elon Musk for firing Union Workers

• He even recently praised Putin of Russia for a prison swap, negating or recognizing that President Biden was the lead negotiator, and in the swap had an American who had been held for over 12 years released during the swap

In addition, Trump is on record for saying the following narrative Utterances: That he does not ask God for ‘Forgiveness’ Which has caused Evangelical Christians to move away from supporting him. They are now of the belief since his denial that he does not need God for forgiveness, considering this an ultimate insult. 

Therefore, a considerable number of them are shifting support toward Harris. The evolution of “Evangelicals For Harris” has been formed and organized. They are calling on all Evangelical Christians to be ‘swing voters’ in the Nov 2024 Presidential Election. They are also advertising on their website this highlight message: “Harris is a Baptist Christian, we honor her great respect for other Faith Traditions, we salute her calling and deep commitment to the Christian Movement, we appreciate that she is at the pinnacle of power. Let us keep her trusting faith relationship with God at the center of our mindful thought of consciousness. 

The New York Times has created “Christian For Harris” led by columnist David French. Where they are putting forth a similar case to help elect Harris. The intent is to bring together both Moderate and Progressive Christians

 NOT CRITICAL RACE THEORY REGARDING DONALD J. TRUMP {DJT}-BUT MORE ABOUT “JUST THE FACTS”

Some key members of the GOP in Arizona are shifting away from DJT. Beginning with Mayor Giles, and state Rep Shaw both have endorsed Kamala Harris for the 2024 US Presidential Election Why? Because they are on record saying,  they are both very skeptical of Trump’s antics and his leadership integrity and creditability.

In addition, Stephanie Grisham, the former press secretary for Trump and is also a prominent Arizona Republican, has also endorsed Kamala Harris.

In the aftermath of shifting away from DJT, they are echoing to the voters of Arizona the following narrative proclamation: “If you support this man, Trump, you will not be judged for your choice of political party you will be judged for your lack of morals, ethics, and humanity. Be Cognizant that so will others of the GOP in Arizona and so will the possibility of The History of the United States”.

Just A Reminder Of Already, “Just The Facts” Regarding DJT”

• 7 Corporate Bankruptcies 

• A Failed Airline, Failed Magazine, and Three Failed Casinos

• A Failed Scam University

• A Failed Pandemic Response

• Two Impeachments by the US Congress

• 34 Criminal Convictions

• A 91 million dollars Rape conviction case of E-Jean Carroll

• The worst Job Record of all times of any US President

The voice of reason is still saying: And there is still a possibility of more convictions yet to come 

It is somewhat difficult to understand why you as voters are yet OK with DJT.

 WHY DO THE MOST DISTRESSING TRAUMATIC EVENTS OCCUR ON

THE PATH ON THE JOURNEY OF LIFE.

BY: Steve Braxton, Vietnam Era Veteran

I shall attempt to provide and give insights and Intel of some details regarding

a tragic situation which happened on my path on the journey of life. The

situation was a US Naval Ship collision at sea. Where I was on board serving

as a Naval Intelligence Officer on Jan 31, 1967.

My Mindful Thoughts Of Consciousness about the cause of this event,

the question of who was responsible, and why it happened?

In the aftermath of the collision-at -Sea it was surmised, as a miss cue of a

series of coded messages that had to be deciphered to ascertain the proper

turns the ship had to make during “Operation Market time’-a darkened ship

maneuver War Zone Exercise. No one to blame, It was not a deliberate

situation and was considered simply an accident. Which caused serious

injuries to numerous shipmates who suffered lacerated limbs, broken bones to

legs, arms, and feet, and sadly two shipmates died in the collision

That being said, since the accident, I have personally grasped and

embrace the the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, that when you

endure pain and suffering it tends to build character, and more importantly, care

and concern about others. This might be the consideration as a key reason

for why the situation happened

In finally, the effects that this traumatic event had on my beliefs and the beliefs

of others, was that it brought to bare and into the forefront an ideal sense of

humanity and civility regarding setting aside opinions about cultural

differences. Because what we have in common is more important and far

outweigh the perceived differences among humanity.

Thus the goal became the focus of getting through The Suffering To Reach

The Glory! Where the right is to earn and celebrate freedom and liberation.

Therefore, to reach out grasping the advent To Survive, Overcome, and

continue To Thrive. Such is the realization of the ultimate levels of

achievements, that allows the opportunity to possess the Strength, the

Fortitude for “Resiliency’ to get up, bounce back, again, again, and again.

Thus this is indeed the Power Of my Story.

SUFFERING AND GLORY

“Was it not necessary that Christ should suffer these things and enter

Into The Glory” {Luke 24:26}

As I think of painful events in my life, and how many of them I am

grateful for today., I am also of the belief and the experience encounters on the

path on the journey of life, that every painful event contains in itself a seed of

growth, development, maturity, and levels of freedom and liberation

 TWO DIFFERENT 2024 CAMPAIGN FOR “POTUS”

-Where one is Focus On The Future...

-The Other One Is A Hold Over From The Past....

Former President Trump is focus and fastened on an old outdated slogan. “Make America Great Again”-MAGA. Such a slogan which was successful to propel him to victory against Hillary Clinton in 2016. However, during the 2020 campaign against Joe Biden the same slogan was also utilized-but was less potent as it did not work as well. Joe Biden prevailed as POTUS in the 2020 match.

Fast forward to 2024 Trump has reach back to ressurrect the same old warm over soup slogan. “Make America Great Again”. However, this time he is seemly adding a new sub beginning: “Our country is failing-but we will turn it around, quickly, and Make America Great Again’

Meanwhile, Presumptive Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris rebuttal slogan is: “We Are Not Going Back” Such a Slogan by Harris and her campaign has been a resounding resolutely repeated tag-line at all of her rallies. Just recently at the Philadelphia rally with her newly selected running mate Governor Tim Waltz of Minnesota, as she introduced him.

She used the slogan very eloquently and defining. When she brought Gov. Tim Waltz to the podium to speak at the Philly Rally her narrative utterance was: “Tim and I have a message for Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. Vance and others who- want to turn back the clock to the past on our Fundamental Freedom: “We Are Not Going Back-We Are Not Going Back”. In the aftermath of repeating the slogan, it serve to both ignite and spark the crowd. Such that they began to chant the slogan and it echoed across the crowd at the rally with much, persistent, and fervent enthusiasm.

The History Books shares the Truth about the records regarding almost every Presidential Election in many ways has largely been about change for the betterment of ‘we the people’. But it seems that Trump is stuck in the past-but Harris is not. She is definitely not interested in going back. Harris focus dead set on to make positive change for “we the people. And definitely not to backslide on policies enacted during Trump’s administrations tenure in office.

And Especcially, Trump’s endorced support for ‘Project 2025’ enactment should he win back the position of POTUS.

Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance spurs and spits out in his narrative utterance jargon, as he comes off sounding Too Serious and Too Angry when he speaks at the GOP rallies, according the listeners who hears him during such times. On the other hand Gov. Waltz who is Harris running mate WOW! the rally crowd, because his narrative utterance focus is on joy as he espoused happiness. Waltz has a tendency to infused a great deal of optimism in his rally speech. Waltz has been credited with coining the phrase and the word ‘Weird’ attributing it to Trump and his allies. When heard by Trump he went into a meltdown.

In addition, he re-iterated an observed fact about presumptive presidential candidate Harris: The ordeal on how she approaches her job, “with a sense of Joy”. Kamala has added two campaign veterans to her team, from former president Obama Advisory staff, David Plouffe and David Axelrod. Because of the recently added advisors Kamala echoes these words: “At this moment in time we are facing a choice if two very ‘different visions’ for our nation. One for the betterment of the future, and the other one focus is on the past. We Cannot and is Not Going Back. It is imperative that we move and Go Forth toward new ‘Fundamental Change and Freedom’
