He will get angry, but he will be slow to anger – then he will see that anger is the wrong way and will return to forgiveness, compassion, understanding and helping people who have fallen.
Waiting for the doctors to get my prescription to the chemists, been waiting a couple of days now – its for my high blood pressure.

You just dunno wots a gonna happens…
I bought myself a large angle-grinder and a large heated throw for my birthday. They both arrived this morning. The throw is much bigger than I thought, but hopefully will get me through these freezing nights, and the grinder which I just tested is larger than I needed, and I knew this, but it will be able to do many jobs. I m going to need better breathing apparatus though.
I have done some messy welds, arc welds that is, and one I followed through very carefully to make sure that the weld worked and to my horror after I finished I messed it up completely only welding on side, the bottom side, so I needed to lighten my welding hood so that I could see more clearly.
I worked with a guy who got serious eye-burn from welding. He was still welding and he lifted the hood without thinking & looked at the welding, and he even came to work, and he basically couldn’t see anything, but he drove from Tokoroa to Kinlieth, crazy. But to look at his eyes was painful, he must have been in agony, and it took a week or so for his eyes to return back to normal. I always remember what happened to him and keep the hood on.

By the way, this isn’t me, I didn’t turn my family away, they went away. But I immediately saw his working in the garage as the part to his salvation because it has helped me so much in these years living alone having something to do. I can’t give stuff away anymore, people won’t take it. I put a fridge and other gear on Facebook years ago free, and many people wanted it, but when they heard where I lived they wouldn’t contact me back or refused to come here. It appears that the Beale Character Assassination has many people thinking that my house is some sort of evil den.
But anyways, people won’t come here, they don’t want what I give away, so I don’t give anything away anymore.
I don’t tell people to not come here, and if I am friendly it is taken wrong, and if I give things away people assume that it is an evil act, it kind of makes me powerless to do good, but also people don’t want me to have any good as well. So I just do what little I can with the web site, my fence even, I do what I can.
Many claim it is a horror story, many also claim that it is real life. The body-dead (died physically) want to get messages back to the (physically) living who they knew so that they calm them and they can get back on with their own lives. But the scene at the end, where the mother is slowly poisoning her daughter, that is a case of the dead daughter wanting the family/world to know that her own mother intentionally killed her, the video was the proof.
Love Made The Difference:
There was this man who suffered from being a perfectionist and self-blame. No one could reach him, no one could get close to him because he wouldn’t allow it. He kept people at a safe distance, but he suffered heavily for that.
Counseling didn’t help him much. He finally decided to join a group and one of the members was this lovely compassionate woman. Slowly with her delightful sense of humour and love she reached this hardened man.
At first the man resisted as he always did, but she wore down his resistance through her love for him. She was there for him, no pressure, and he wondered what such a lovely lady could see in him. She was understanding, caring, and all her attention and kindness reached him. She showed him that she enjoyed him with her responses, her smiles, and her gentle understanding of him and his situation.
First he took her out for a coffee, then to a restaurant, then they went out on regular occasions. The ice had been melted and love had won through. He was now laughing, joking, teasing, he had been given the gift of this woman’s love, and through that he had found his true self. His unwounded self. And from there he had found life, love and happiness.
Being loved by someone else is a positive “yes” to our self-worth because someone has committed their life to us. It is a lift in our life to have someone enjoy our company. We feel confident about life and the future when we have someone to share our dreams with. With someone at our side life gains hope, and the road is not so lonely anymore. Life finally has meaning.
Love will heal what doctors, scientists, therapists, and money cannot heal.
The power of love goes far beyond anything material, the power of love opens ones heart and that soothes the soul. Being wanted and loved helps us to become our true confident self, realizing all our talents and abilities. When someone loves us it removes the negatives and brings the hope out in us.
Love will make a way, love is all you really need.
Some of your life has been your fault, some has been others. I mean consider all the events that you could not control that have been a part of your life – they were out of your control, all you could control is how you reacted to those things that happened to you.
“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” – Bob Moawad.
All the while the victim is astounded that people can turn on them when they did no wrong.

So it appears, that Obama and Hilary etc, devised a plan to make sure that Trump did not win the next election after he was first voted in. By claiming/implying and Character Assassination they said that Trump was supported by Putin and that Putin helped put Trump in to Presidency the first time (2017).
The Character Assassination implied that if you voted for Donald Trump at the next election (the one that Trump lost to Biden) you would be supporting Communism and supporting President Putin. So masses of people who voted for Trump the first time felt threatened and didn’t vote for him the next time.
Character Assassination is used to gain the advantage over someone, to get that persons support off he or she and then use that support against that person. Often Character Assassination destroys that persons entire life.
People are claiming that these new claims are to take everyone’s attention of the resent Epstein List claims. But they are bringing out evidence that may actually (hopefully) put Obama and maybe (Hopefully) Hillary Clinton behind bars as well.
if found to be true, then the Democratic party duped the American people in mass with a big lie that many people believed, enough for them all to turn against Trump.
There are other implications too though. The world tends to follow the US, and with COVID-19, the world may not have taken the steps it took if a different American President was in power and Anthony Fauci Physician and former Chief Medical Advisor to the President of United States would not have been able to back up the vaccines and such as he did.
It is hard to say what would have happened had Trump won that election, but many people claim that the vaccines killed and made many people very sick, some permanently, so some people will very angry if it turns out that Trump was in fact Character Assassinated and that is why he lost the election.
Its not that God Needs Us, it is that we need God to help us, thus we need to do as God wants so that God can help us.
Everything is forgivable once a person Repents in Words and Actions.
Regardless of established religious beliefs. The reason for this thinking is that once we change our character, publicly show that we are not who we used to be especially by righting the wrongs we have deliberately or mistakenly done, and become new, thus we are as a complete new, regrown, being, we are totally and completely incapable of doing the wrongs we did in the past, and because we are a New Creature in Christ and All Things Within Us have Become New, we can completely be forgiven for our pasts.
People can manipulate you easily if you run by a schedule or are easily Predictable.
If you are on time everyday, for something, (get up at the same time each morning, get groceries the same day at the same time each week, etc) they can plan something for you, but to you it looks like something “out of the blue”, something unexpected by you, but you welcome it, as “they” expect you to welcome it, because they know you will think that it is God, or coincidence, or good lick, or whatever.
Its the same as always telling people where you are going, what you are thinking, what your fears and worries are, you are giving them all the information they need to plan to corrupt your life, plans, and so on.
Your habits, time schedule, things you do a lot of, and always around the same time, are what other people, manipulators can plan on, they can count on you being at a certain place at a certain time, they can plan on you choosing certain things because you always choose those certain styles, foods drinks and so on, so it is easy to prepare something for you that looks like a coincidental meeting, or add a drug to the drink type that you always order, and so on.
The less predictable you are, the harder it is for them to manipulate you. So, when you feel like ordering what you always get, get something else or go another way home, or do something different that you normally don’t do, choose another colour, drive a different car (they can add tracers to your usual car to follow you and see where you are going).
If you always eat chocolate ice-cream start eating vanilla. Be unpredictable. Don’t ask for permission to do what you want to do, step away and just go do it.
The more unpredictable you are the more the manipulators will find you confusing, and they will try to get you back to your old habits, and making the old choices.
Enjoy being different than your old self, think if these changes as exciting, fun, and watch the people around you who claim to love you, yet are upset that you are changing your regular schedule, or are not taking their suggestions and you are being spontaneous, but especially be wary if they use fears to convince you in to going back tot he old habits, schedules and such.
You can make it a game, agree to their suggestions and then do something different, and see if they catch on, and if they complain agree with them, and then do something random, off the cuff, confusing to them, but exciting to you.
People who manipulate people love it when you are very predictable, obey their orders, and their suggestions are actually orders. To find this out when he or she makes a “Suggestion” ask if it is a suggestion and not an order, and when he or she (to see or pretend to be fair) will agree that they are making a suggestion, then do something different – you see, they cannot complain if you didn’t obey a suggestion.
If they make demands and call it an order, you can then ask yourself, “Am I being manipulated, ruled, and controlled, used and abused? Please remember, Comfort Zones are used to make victims think that they are being protected secure and being looked after.
The Past is Dead, all we got is the future.
This statement is very true when we leave a marriage, we need to leave it behind and move forward. Same for Repentance. If we find the life of the past is not what we want anymore, we change, walk away, and the past gone within us forever.
To put away childish things means to put away illogical silly thinking.
○For instance the worldly materialistic beliefs, such as if I buy a new car I will be happy – this is the exact thinking of a child wanting happiness with a new present/gift, but instead the adult is doing it. Or the belief that new clothes, makeup, anything expensive will bring happiness and good times (most likely it will just put a family in debt).
Casual sex is childish because it is the opposite to being mature and responsible and has many risks. The party goers believe that parties and hanging out with the party crowd is good times – this is a continuation from children’s parties, birthday parties, and the like, adults and childish thinking.
Because the government makes a profit off our childish ways they promote it, for example alcohol, legalising drug abuse, abortion, prostitution etc.
*
The only way to be truly happy is to put away childish thinking, childish beliefs, and become innocent, honest, loving, forgiving like a child. “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
Happiness is found in innocence, in honesty, in compassion, empathy, not in things – happiness in the world comes from a peaceful, gentle soul within.

When we do things for the one we really love we do them because of our love for that person and also because we get a lot of pleasure from seeing the happiness in their life from our efforts. Its so nice to be appreciated without the other person demanding or expecting us to bow down to them.Humble hearts don’t expect, they are pleasantly surprised and humbled that a person would really want to do things for them to help them in their day.
Married or not, simple innocent love is a wonderful thing. Heaven on earth.
Some thoughts I have on love:
♦
“True love is two people willing to work around each others problems until each ones “ups and downs” become their interesting characters.”
○
Having love, being love makes us complete to fulfill our destiny together.
Two are better than one.
Two makes life sharing so much more important and fun.
Sharing life with someone else becomes a spiritual journey surrounded by spiritual comfort and serenity.
○
Simply walking the streets arms linked in belonging, or hands held in “this is so a awesome, I am with you” and it’s all about belonging to someone else and feeling good and relaxed just being in their space. It is comforting being with that person.
○
Love is not about an intense fling for an afternoon, love is about more than that so much so that love can be worn in ones heart day and night whether they be together or apart, and yet still have that comforting feeling of being content, and that no matter what happens they can deal with it together.Simple touches, secret glances, special smiles, knowing looks and living as if every moment together is some special secret life you both live.Being in love is, we hurt together, we smile as one, together forever.
We share, because we care.
Being in love is “being real, strong and courageous together” it’s holding each other up when one is feeling so down.Spiritual love fills two souls with a meaning to live, feeling wanted, needing someone, having someone need you. This is what makes life complete. It’s what we live for.It doesn’t matter what she looks like, her face, hair, clothes, and other physical attributes don’t matter – its what you see in her eyes that bring her beauty to you – this is where she shines – here is her real beauty, here is her deep inner sensitive love. God made her like this for her future man, her husband. Genesis 2:18.The nicest words you could hear other than “I love you!” are probably “Welcome home, please stay!”

Immaturity is that when God says don’t do something, the person makes excuses and tries to reason why he or she “believes” (wants) God to not say No, and then he or she will then go do what God said not to do.
The idea of people being Immature, what evil wants, is so that they will constantly question God on all playing fields, all levels of his or her life, to pry to God and then live in doubt about what he or she prayed about.
Maturity, what evil hates, is knowing that he or she prayed, God gave a clear sign that God knew that he or she would understand and then this person understood the message, did as asked, and saw the message from God as clearly-defined, an absolute, a fact, an obvious statement from God to not do it, or to do something, and that is that – no questioning God nor making demands of God, and settling in comfort with the knowledge that God knows best.
The feeling that is the saddest and hardest feeling that I have ever felt is the physical and spiritual aching heart feeling.
On Mind Manipulation Tactics – Knowledge helps you protect yourself.
○
People that try to persuade you are going to try to figure out things about you that will make it easier for them to get you to make the choice that they want.Sneaky people know that you will be more agreeable with them if you are comfortable with them, so they copy your mannerisms, your habits, agree with you, they like what you like, copy your body language, so that you feel subconsciously that you have much in common with them and that you are tuned together as one.
So even if you are not sure or not wanting to upset anyone, watch the person and see if you can pinpoint then doing any mannerisms, actions and body language that you do.Also check for them being over agreeable, because that is a sign that they are trying to make you feel that you are both wanting the same things in life and need the same things so they are trying to give you the feeling that you are both on the same page, yet you are way off, very unmatched and not evenly yoked.If you see this it is a sign that you are being tricked by an expert.If you have doubts, uncomfortable feelings about the relationship that you are in, then heed these warnings, they are God and your instincts trying to save you from future suffering.
Look back in the past when things went wrong and ask yourself, are you seeing patterns from the last relationship being repeated with this person (regardless of excuses as to why).
I got over panic attacks out of desperation.

Furious that I was being weak, but also stubborn demanding of myself success and getting over what I knew were things that were not worth panicking over, and not wanting to self hate be self disappointed and ashamed of myself because I wasn’t doing what I should do, needed to do, wanted to do – to be my own hero I needed to make the
break through and stand up to the demons that were torturing my confidence and then break though face it and do what is needed, once that is done walls of panic fall down and fears are realised for what they are, nothing that will ever stop me again.

I penned this one this morning reading a Marie Curie quote:
“As soon as we understand what we once feared the truth becomes clear and fear disappears”.
Seems to make sense.
My children and I did studies of movie TV etc and we were all big fans of silent movies and especially Buster Keaton.

Looking back on a lot of this that I wrote back in 2003-2004 I can see how I got confident in my religious writing and how I was perceived in church by the Pastor in 2004.
I think I became a believer in God around 2003, possibly a bit earlier. So about a year later I was writing religious/Christian/Godly articles.
My eldest took on the view of the church in 2004, “Who the heck did James think that he is!”I was confident because what was coming out of my head was making much sense to me and answered many of my questions about God, life, why we suffer, trials, what God wants of us, how God helps us etc.
Then over the next 16 years I lived a lot of what I wrote about. For instance I may have written about faith, courage, God, love, and was tested in those areas. I shudder to think of the amount of times I failed and failed.I was a babe in Christ, had mountains to learn, but I was also able to see, think and write what I believed God, the trials and such to be, and I was heavily disliked in church for my alternative views, and the Pastor disliked me because I had answers and he didn’t.
He would tell us that we were sinners, alcoholics and such, but he had no answers to help us, he would tell us to fix ourselves us to please God etc.
What I hated about modern church was that it had no answers to our problems, the preachers preached, told us what to be, to recognise our sins, repent, but didn’t tell us how to change, they had no answers. It is no wonder it is accepted today that those in the church are sinners, broken, fallen and will always be that way. I disliked this. I felt that the preacher should have the answers to heal the broken souls, to help mend, to have genuine loving empathetic answers for the suffering before them.No one wanted to listen to me, even in my own family, so I wrote and wrote what I felt was right for the greater good of all.One church member told me that I had pride issues and that was why I wouldn’t just sit and do as I was told, and that my pride was making me think that I was better than the Pastor and others in the church. (Remember I was new at the church so I must have been seen as a really prideful arrogant person). The Pastor was buying his sermons off the Internet and had no idea how to just go up in front of everyone and how to speak from the heart – something I did well and he saw me as a threat for that – I think he was scared the congregation would see value in me, so he did a bit of a Character Assassination and told the church members behind my back that I was having doctrine issues.When my eldest daughter went to the Wanganui church she was horrified to see on the notice board that our Pastor had sent out to all the churches to pray for the Sandbrook family because James Sandbrook had doctrine issues – meaning that Satan was getting to em and I wasn’t listening to God. Poor Tracy was heavily embarrassed. I think that she probably felt that I was letting he down because I was not submitting to the higher authority in church, the Pastor.
All I wanted to do was heal people, whether I got credit or not, but pride and fear controlled him and the result was that I happily left 11 years later and will never go back. I learned a lot though about churches, their worth, how they are run, the tithing, etc. even small churches with a 10% tithe get a lot of money each week. Also some of the church members were tithing over $100 a week.
And the church pays the Pastor a wage.
So for years I went to church and listened, learned from what they did and said, saw where improvements could be done so that the congregation could be healed – and I said none of this to them and they liked me for being submissive, but in the meantime I wrote a lot of what I have published here back then, so hopefully these days people may find it useful.
To me church was all about solving people’s problems. To the church it was about tithes, telling them the doctrines over and over again year after years, about sermons (some were good, but no answers to our problems), church rules, traditions, etc.
Two alcoholics came to our church, a male at once stage, a female at another, both were kicked out because the Pastor had no idea how to deal with them, then they were shamed in church as unruly and impossible.One member got into drugs and he was voted out.
So instead of fixing people they just got rid of the problems and prayed for God to fix them.See what I mean, a church with no answers. Woe to those who call evil good, and who take money to heal people and don’t do so.
after years of going to church do you still have the same issues you had years ago?My writings are not about doctrines, not about church, not about being obedient to the church, pastor etc, but they are about my personal walk with God, the Living God. Maybe they can help you with your personal walk with God as well.
Why did Jesus teach?
○
To fill our heads with church doctrines?
No, because Jesus was teaching us to avoid the churches of that time, the established religious systems like the Pharisees.To teach us to repent and go to Heaven and be with God?
yes and no. Jesus was trying to tell us that the Kingdom was here, it always has been here, it is within you when you follow what Christ is teaching.Its not a building, it is Love.
God is Love, God is Spirit, you are made in the image of God.Jesus was teaching us to change our lifestyles now and that would ensure a safe eternity.
Note I used the word “change”, all things become new, new creature in Christ, and to get there to this state of being we have to be tried over a furnace like silver.I was always amazed that in church “new” meant sitting on the fence taking from God and sampling the world.
It is either one way or the other, no fence sitting, no sampling evil and then pretending to be on God’s side, that is not good preparation for eternity.Only change, complete change – this is what Jesus was teaching.
He was also teaching us tot avoid the rotten vines because they had rotten fruit.
Rotten fruit is people suffering and never becoming fresh, new, born again.And then there is the words born Again.If done spiritually doesn’t that mean that we cast away all attachments to sin and follow God to the max?All through the Bible the message is full complete total change and the promised land. The promised land is what we get when we become good decent human beings.
Yet the churches don’t preach this and they don’t have answers to our everyday issues, except those who have accepted the ways of the failing health systems worldwide.Are you looking in the mirror deceiving yourself, telling yourself that you are a Godly child while being the opposite?
