Hi, Are you a peacemaker producing peace from the wealth of peace within? If you are then you are blessed. War making or a bottled up state of war within people; is the prime cause of death. Death entered this world through the misuse of mans free will and the abuse of power, dominion and rule over the creation. The Bible speaks of the sons of God, but not to get you going into a world of fantasy as the supposed fall of Lucifer and his supposed angels, for that in itself is sensationalism, which only strengthens the natural man thus hastening his demise. [Romans 8:19-21] The anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. We read in Genesis 6:3 that clearly God was forced to limit the years of human life because His own sons (Adam and his sons) corrupted themselves after they had joined the fleshly non-Adamic people. At that time the Bible mentions no daughters who were born later, but only sons. Then the LORD said, My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years. Watch the word ALSO. Adam was eternal and was not meant to suffer any termination of life; and so were his children also. But instead of triumphing over the fleshly war-like tendencieswhich entered his genes through the mix with other peoplethey let themselves slide into depravity. Depravity is basically a belligerent state, for contentiousness, animal-like territoriality and aggression is clearly war-like.

As we go further into the causes of death on earth your eyes shall be opened, and with your permission you will be invited to become a peacemaker in a real sense of the word. Jesus said in Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Happy, lucky, fortunate and rich in Gods grace are the peacemakers as opposed to warmakers who only see the limited territory over which they readily fight. But the word CALLED (Greek , (kale) can be used in a variety of applications, directly or otherwise; like to bid or summon or even invite, to call forth or to name. In the above verse the NASB translates it as CALL, also KJV. As we come closer to understanding that one short verse; we extract from it very rich meaning like this one: we are called to be peacemakers, we are invited to lay aside our war like ways by seeing higher and better reality. The proverbial turning of a cheek; giving a shirt when one is asked for a coat, or going two miles when one is being asked to go just one clearly speaks of sonship and of course the peacemakers. [Matthew 5:9] Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Jesus continued to expound upon the truth of peacemaking. [40-41] If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. It is not doing something by force or dry obedience to His word for that in itself is only religion. At the end of this chapter Jesus said that the Gentiles do that for they act like slaves when they are told to; or act the natural way, which is to greet back when one is greeted, and return love when one is shown love. God chose Israel to be the light unto the Gentiles, (Isaiah 42:6) hence it was Israel that was called to be the initiator of peace, joy, love and blessing. Someone must start doing it. NOTE: A Jewish man of Alexandria in Egypt wrote the Book of Wisdom. He was a pure Jew, not a Kenite, and his primary reason for writing was the edification of his fellow brothers in faith in times of suffering and oppression at the hands of apostate fellow Jews. His name is not known, but like Sirach he was a peacemaker. The evidence of this is his compassion, encouragement and wisdom. [42-43] Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. One is the standard, having the attitude of a peacemaker rather than doing something in order to glean vain satisfaction. Many humanists today do good works; some do it from the heart while others do it for an appeasement of those restless thoughts and troubled feelings. Still, others do it to raise more funds and in the process make a living out of charity.

[43-45] You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Love your enemy? But how Lord? Please tell me. Its simple, said the Lord. When you are a peacemaker you are also a healer. Anyone harboring any sentiments of animosity can be healed of that dreadful malady; providing that they come to you. When the sick comes to you the peacemaker then quite naturally you heal him or her and then that person can even become your friend. If we have Satan, the devil and his supposed army of demons as our enemy (in our mind) we are a long way away from becoming and being peacemakers. Study Jesus and you will know. Sometimes you must even part with theology to rise higher just as Jesus had challenged His own disciples in Matthew 5. The general population of Palestine adhered to the standard Judaism as prescribed by the teachers of the law of that time. But then came a rabbi from Galilee who started challenging people with His new teaching bidding them to go beyond the legal and theological boundaries. Jesus raised the bar and those that were deep in their correct theology told the rest that He is in error and that He misleads the people. Go figure. [46-47] For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? In the same way, if one throws a stone at you then quite naturally so you would also look for a stone to hurl it back at the stone thrower. A kind smile returns a kind smile. But as I just said above, one must initiate and pave the way. One must draw from his or her own storeroom of peace and heal humanity of their warmongering ways, from which worries for the daily bread come, which is the evidence of living out the curse. That cure has been atoned for and removed at the cross of Jesus. Its done, but do you know that or still entertain those religious surface beliefs? Did it sink into your mind, soul and spirit? Has it become the new system that affects your very being? Wherever the peacemaker walks that place is being redeemed. The earth stops crying to heaven because of the spilled blood. One atones for the sins of others. Thats greatly pleasing to God; for in so doing one is indeed His son. [49] Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. The perfection is not in singing unto God Mighty Warrior! Have you ever heard anyone praising God for being the peacemaker? I praise you for You are peace. We sing words like these You are MY peace. As if I am restless and troubled so I need peace, which sort of comes and goes, from sermon to sermon and from song to song God in heaven is perfect and we here on earth can be like Him again just as we once were, before we transgressed and have not repented yet. Once you repent and return to Him you will lay aside the implements of warmongering.

ing hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war. The opposite of being blessed is being cursed therefore quite naturally we conclude that warmakers are so because they act on a curse, which causes death. The thistles and thorns producing earth, the sweat of the brow and heavy labors just to eat bread actually hasten our demise for our bodies exhaust themselves, weaken and succumb to earths natural law. If the cursed war-like gene is not fundamentally changed then death will keep on being the harvester of life; traditionally portrayed as that skeleton holding a sickle. Blessed are you if you do this Death came because of killing. Logical? Cain murdered first, so much we know, but the Bible does not explain those other people, which Cain joined himself with in Ashur the land of Nod. (Ashur from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashur_%28god%29) NOTE: Ashur is the head of the Assyrian pantheon. The Assyrians did not require conquered peoples to take up the worship of Ashur; instead, Assyrian imperial propaganda declared that their gods had abandoned the conquered peoples.) The point is that the conquered people had conquered other people and the warmongering was in their blood; and their DNA has finally landed in us. If we accept it or we deal with the truth of the matter then we might change our DNA. A little of the bipedal animal, Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons and Cain resides in all of us. But we can change that. Let me tell you how. We know that thoughts travel and any creative thought must be infused with an emotion. There is the wrathful, hateful and deadly emotion, or an altruistic, benevolent and loving emotion. These two types of the emotion-infused thoughts move through our bodies through our nervous system. Nerves are like electrodes of sorts carrying neutrons and electrons; they pass not only through our wrinkled brains, but also throughout our beings, which means through blood, bones, skin, soul, mind and spirit. Negative disposition establishes itself and the offspring or such person will definitely have those predispositions. Just as there are genetic weaknesses and hereditary proneness to illness there are character and temperament traits commonly found in each family tree. Watch this. In the book of Nehemiah 9 the Jewish exiles kept confessing their sins, but also their fathers sins. They even separated themselves from the foreign genetic pool of Babylon and Persia, for they did not know yet then that repeated returns to the Lord; and cleaving to His ways, actually does change our DNA. This stubborn adherence to our Maker manifests the fruit of love for our God. The nervous system picks up the signals; creates new creases in our brain; changes our way of thinking and the overall dispositions. The nerves pick up that inner joy and the gift of peace also and then distribute those precious properties throughout our system. One begins to walk with God. Its inevitable. Sooner or later one

must be transformed by this amazing power. Why is it so difficult for people to imagine it? If you pollute your mind with pornography and feed on it; then only flesh and more flesh is on your mind and then normal sexual cohabitation with your spouse may not be enough. The flesh will ask for a kinky sex or orgies, pedophilism, homosexuality, masochism, sadism, etc. In the same way, when one is cleaving to God and spiritual things and finds spiritual pleasure in it; one longs for more and more of the uplifting knowledge, which in fact pushes out the old knowledge like the old wineskins. One finds the new wineskin better; and the new wine spiritually intoxicating. A person is being transformed as the nervous system is being (positive) bombarded with this new glorious information. It begins to distribute spiritual properties establishing new (positive) strongholds. (Jacob experimented with those desires on his sheep and it worked; Jacob actually changed the genetic makeup of his flocks.) One then quite easily parts with any old associations if they do not make for peace. One easily lays aside vindictiveness, animosities, or jealousy. Any desire for vengeance or the ill feelings of envy and strife. It is easy to part with these because one is in that euphoric state of Gods glorious freedom. After the nervous system has done its job then the DNA data strands also acquire new information about you. That information is being stored not only for any future generations if you started to feed your DNA later on in lifebut also for you as an individual. You can see your old person in your children, but your children do not see that old mom and dad anymore. Hey, you can look like a stranger to them. At sixty-five Enoch produced an offspring (Genesis 5:21-24) and then he walked with God for 300 years. Again (V. 22) AFTER he fathered Methuselah with other sons and daughters Enoch kept walking with God as if to say, he fulfilled his natural mission of procreation first. His children matured and had their own families while their father walked with God and then they saw him no more, which means they were not at their old fathers funeral. That old dad was no longer there. Imagine. Indeed. Blessed are the sons of God the peacemakers. Today we know, that there have been civilizations dating 100,000s of years back. I am absolutely certain of that. (Perhaps later on I will explain it at length.) Those people lived from subjugations of other peoples and so on; civilization rose upon another civilization and all were involved in warfare of sorts; from the hunters to stalkers of animals and of humans and murderers etc. Thats the reason why God clearly stated (Genesis 6:3) that Adam has ALSO become like all the other peoples. Flesh. The limit of years to only 120 speaks more than a thousand words. Let me site just a few key points here: 1. It speaks of the fact that once a limit is imposed then the prior truth was that there was no limit. 2. That Adam has ALSO become flesh speaks of the fact that he was not just flesh-andblood like all the rest. 3. If war-makers carry the death curse then the peacemakers are blessed for they carry the blessing of perpetual life. 4. If the earth longs for our manifestation, for the earth actually responds to mans violence with violence, then the creation has the record of all violence.

Take Romans 8:13-22 at its face value and understand. If you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Now, a war like person will fight against his or her own flesh, but still fight. Putting to death the deeds of the bodylike in the dark ages through mortifications and selfflagellationsis not what the apostle means here. That does not look like a person at peace with his or her being and certainly not a peacemaker. The teachings that our bodies are our enemies came from celibate priests and monks. Once you understand your body and its natural needs you will be at peace with your body. So Paul is not speaking about mortifying your body, but rather infusing it with peace, which is shown in the next verse. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, Abba! Father! Our heavenly Father is perfect and Jesus told us that we could become as perfect as our Father. Why not? For even the creation longs for peace for it has enough of bloodshed and wars. 5. Peace that transcends all understanding is not a normal peace, or the peace after a war, or just a state of quiet, but rather something supernatural beyond our grasp. Jesus said, My peace I give to you and not the kind of peace this world offers, but My kind of peace. Go figure. Whats that peace? Im getting closer. Bear with me. 6. Hospitals are filled with wounded people, and dying people. War outside and war inside. The war outside, which comes from strife, or gang battles, is one. The war inside attacks the organs and causes cancers, unrest and often a body attacks itself like the heart attacks, which is nothing else, but a war inside the body and it comes against the pomp. A heart turns on itself and implodes. The immune system sometimes turns on itself weakening its defenses as if on purpose; and as if it wants the body to succumb to illness and quickly die. A destructive behavior of the inner organs is not normal for it looks as if they do want to die, but in fact they cry for help. They need peace and not stress, worry, insecurity, Godlessness lack of peace. 7. Finally, peace heals, while war divides. While peace brings healing unrest brings sickness. [Isaiah 26:3] The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace because he trusts in You. (NASB) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. (KJV) Perfect peace is Gods peace. Perfect love is Gods love and this kind of love banishes all fear, worry, unrest and insecurity from its presence. That is exactly what Jesus was teaching us by telling us to not worry about tomorrow, (Matthew 6:30-34) or what we would eat or clothe ourselves with, etc. Today, He still keeps on addressing those sayings to the peace-

makers. But the peacemaker must get the message and eat it like bread until it sustains his being with new strength. The word steadfast or stayed in Hebrew ( ,samak) means: to lean on, to rest in, as in being supported and sustained. In other wards one actually draws from Gods sustenance not war, but peace, which Paul touched on: [Philippians 4:6-7] Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. There is a place of never being anxious for nothing. It may sound strange, but right there resides the seed of immortality; for one resides in the PERFECT PEACE and the PERFECT LOVE; that surpasses all comprehension and casts out all fear. That means: our mind can no longer interpret it in any way, one stops even speaking about it for it is a state of being. One IS.
Just pause here and meditate on these words for a while. Say something to the Lord and feel the surge of that wondrous flow of His love toward you

All of my life I have been in the business of healing people through peace, not even excitement, which comes from the sensational realm of the fleshly senses. Peace is health. Peace is heaven. Peace is God. When good people die People do not die for being bad or good, but rather because of whats inside their bodies. Genes play a huge role because God looks at us as trees having roots - our past, trunk our present state of being, and branches our future. Imagine your ancestors future, which you will become, which comes from the root of every family tree. It passes through their lives and how they have lived and it ends up in the future generations. I wondered why Methuselah lived so long (939 years) and it occurred to me that while his father was already in the translated state of immortality Gods grace was also upon his children. But the walking each must do privately and very much individually. Thats the reason why Jesus said (John 3) that one that is born of the Spirit is like wind and no one knows except the one who has become like wind. Think about it. Now, imagine Roman legionnaires who produced offspring and died in battles. Imagine the bloodshed, the ruthlessness, and mercilessness. Over time a soldier ceases to be a normal human being, because the spilled blood upon the earth cries out to God. A spilled blood does cry from the ground and God could not hear it any more. He turned His face away when His bloody son was dying on the Roman cross in Jerusalem. Once and for all Once and for all Not to be mentioned anymore and religiously revel in. The gory death of Jesus was the ultimate violence, which God took upon Himself just to find a few

peacemakers on this planet earth. [Genesis 5:10-11] He said, What have you done? The voice of your brothers blood is crying to Me from the ground. Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brothers blood from your hand. This ties with this verse, [Genesis 3:19] By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, till you return to the ground, because from it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Cain was cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive the blood of his brother, but also to receive Cains blood after his cup of wickedness was filled. We do not know how Cain actually died. Perhaps, like Judas Iscariot, Cain was murdered and the biblical text does not mention it, but sort of insinuates. NOTE: Many sources point to the fact that Judas Iscariot did not hang himself, but was hanged by the Zealots who also split his belly with a sword for they viewed his betrayal of Jesus as a betrayal of their (violent-political-messianic) cause. We know that Adam and his other sons lived almost 1000 years while Cain just faded into the general population. We know nothing about his family, but only by their war like fruits. (Matthew 7:20-27) The builders of the Babel Tower and Nimrod (Genesis 10) came from Ham who in my opinion held Cains genes; hence the naming of his son Canaan. In Genesis 15:19 God explains to Abraham the root of Canaan, which was Kenite; Cains direct descendent (also Numbers 24:22). NOTE: You can see that I operate on the Spirit of oneness. No computer could ever do that for you. It is His oneness that ties things together and that oneness is peace. The ancients knew well their origins and they kept ancestry records. If we do not learn from what they knew we would never know the truth. But the records of peoples and their genealogical family trees were well kept. No curse was ever meant to be final. Since God did not speak from pleasure, but rather from His displeasure, just so that we would know Him better. These things are never final, but very much temporary. God does not stay angry forever. [Jeremiah 3:12] I will not look upon you in anger. For I am gracious, declares the LORD; I will not be angry forever. God is gracious and that is His character not His garment, which He might occasionally put on and then take off. He is permanently and eternally gracious. Anyway. Every curse must be completely removed every 50th year. In every 7th year God ap-

proaches anyone being under a curse in order to reconcile. However, when no return (repentance) takes place in the 50th year all curses are cancelled, but it does not mean that God blesses that person. God sort of washes His hands off of anyone in such a state and leaves one alone by giving one over to his or her own chosen ways. (Romans 1:24-28) The illusion of having my own life and doing what I like with my OWN body becomes like a permanent seal upon a mind of such an individual; en evidence of gross ignorance; a seal of death. A peacemaker must learn about Gods holy outbursts; and not take them as His real character or even as the essence of His holy nature. Gods anger is only His garment; clothes He puts on in order to lay them aside. Just as any outer garments we put on and take them off. If one takes His anger for His real nature one exemplifies Gods hatred. Many do hate God and thats the reason why we have so many atheists today for the Maker of mankind gave them over to their own futile imaginations. But also ignorant war-like Christians take Pauls words of Ephesians 6 doctrinally and dogmatically. They see wars in heaven for there is war inside many of them; even those who do not have any war inside they get it in church. Fools and imbeciles of the lowest caliber and then they tell me that what they preach is scriptural. They write books about it without the intelligence of the Holy Spirit. It just burns me up to hear it, let alone read it. Why should I disturb the peace that surpasses all understanding, the tranquility of the Holy Spirit? [Isaiah 59:17] He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; and He put on garments of vengeance for clothing and wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle. Obviously Paul alluded to this verse (in Isaiah 59) and metaphorically told us to put on Jesus who as the prophet said was/is our intercessor (verse 16). Gods wrath or soldiers armor are His garments, a breastplate, helmet, belt and shoes He puts on in order to save His beloved. He never wanted His beloved to do what is His job. (2 Chronicles 20:15) The battle is not yours but Gods. Just as we do not stay angry, but return to a normal state so it is with God. Gods normal state is graciousness and lovingkindness. Whats your normal state, a peacemaker or you carry many frustrations, unforgiveness, grudge and self-pity or hate, a bottled up war inside? Are you following closely or trailing way behind. Mincing words wont help you now. Get inspired my friend. Lets learn Gods real eternal character, which wins over any agitated disposition: [Psalms 30:5] For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning. We may say that when God pronounced curses He showed us the night. But His blessings come in the morning, but later on after we fully return to Him. Therefore, He is our REDEEMER, taking back what is rightfully His. [Isaiah 54:8] In an outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you, says the LORD your Re-

deemer. When God speaks from being pleased with man He speaks completely differently; He speaks blessings, prosperity, joy and peace, but when He shows His displeasure He speaks of a curse, calamities and hardships. Therefore, by knowing this fact we should not accept Adam or Eves curses as permanent. The statement, from dust you came and to dust you shall return is not final; for God was teaching us about Himself and that was the time to show us His temperament which in many ways is also ours for we are like Him and just as He lays bad temper aside, like a garment, so we must do the same. He is God and since this world is filled with war like people any peacemakers, His beloved sons and daughters must leave all battles and vengeance to Him. Again. He is God; He will not die, but we will die if we continue being war like. If we dont cease from being like a boiling pot; and if we do not leave all battles up to Him, but keep on backstabbing, gossiping and complaining because of those ignorant fools that have hurt us then we are not His sons, but strange creatures. Be merciful in order to receive mercy is an easy way of living. It is not a superiority complex, but the actual superiority without the complex. A merciful person is already above anyone who still broods in those low places of self-importance and self-pity. It is easy to be merciful when you are high up in Gods bomber dropping those grace-filled chocolate bombs on those undeserving ones below The bottled up war inside you burns you up and drives you back to dust for a wrathful disposition annihilates while a peaceful disposition brings joy and prosperity, life, even immortality. Let me bring here the Book called Wisdom of Sirach, which the Catholic, but not the Protestant Bibles contain. [Sirach 40:9-11] Death, and bloodshed, strife, and sword, calamities, famine, tribulation, and the scourge; these things are created for the wicked, and through them came the flood. All things that are of the earth do turn to the earth again: and that which is of the waters doth return into the sea. May I add to this verse: (John 3:6 Jesus said), That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Peacemaking is spiritual and not of this earth. It must be chosen and fully embraced before it can transform anyone. Earth returns to earth, as dust turns to dust when the dust ways are embraced. With deep displeasure God said to man You are dust but with great joy He said to Enoch, You are mine! The son of Sirach in the (Book of Wisdom 1:12-13) said, Court not death by your erring way of life, nor draw to yourselves destruction by the works of your hands. Because God did not make death nor does He rejoice in the destruction of the living. When God made Adam with whom we identify today, He created immortality, which means, that like Enoch, Elijah, John or Philip we were meant to enjoy both worlds, spiritual and physical. We were made to be interchangeable like Jesus after His resurrection.

The abundance of warring genes in us de-facto brings death and they (genes) overbearingly blur our vision to this very simple truth of not really dying at all. Blasphemous? Perhaps? But only to some. So be it. This blessed blasphemy is mine. And, with Gods loving permission, if I die, so be it, but at least I enjoy myself exploring His ways, His character and the original plan for me. It has nothing to do with blind faith and empty promises, but rather the study and again study of Him who made us. Oh, my Lord! I love to swim in this wondrous essence of His love. He is with me right now as I touch the keys. He embraces and kisses me. No one can take that away from me. All I do is only convey His warmest greeting to you for He desires to kiss and embrace you as His own son and daughter, just as He does it right now. [Genesis 5:16-17] Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son. Cain left Gods face, which is synonymous with His presence, which was in the Eden region at that time; and Cain turned his back to God. In the land of Nod Gods presence was not. It was a country of Sumer of the Assyrians (Hebrew, Ashur), which in the Modern Hebrew can also mean forbidden (ASSUR). Cain went out from the land of conviction, which leads to repentance. Cain hated conviction and the reminder of his crime; so he sealed himself with the hardness of heart, oblivion and a war-like disposition to this very day. [Genesis 9:6] Whoever sheds mans blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man. This has continued as long as we can remember or read about in the annals of humanity, all the way back to bipedal bestiality and further still, the predatory animalistic instincts we watch on nature TV. And speaking of the media: We are glued to violence and bloodshed. The more gruesome the more fascinating these things are as our genes echo our history. Two most palatable events excite our senses, procreation through sex and lifes termination through killing. From those people before Adam all the way to Cain, Attila the Hun, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Barbarians, Mongols, Tatars, Moors, Crusaders the list is endless, not to mention the most recent and most horrendous war the WW II, in which millions were murdered with sophistication. Atomic bombs, Hydrogen bombs, Napalm, poison gases and the most awful one the germ warfare. See how those war-like genes act perpetuating death from generation to generation. God said, You want war and death? Here it is, your choice is honored and respected. Pass it

on to your children and watch them behave the same way, than blame it on the original sin if that consoles you in any way but do nothing about it lest you should live Each gene holds a story. But also brand new information can be inserted into a gene and that gene can be altered. In fact thats what my own father did by having the revelation of peace, which he acted upon. He prayed that he would not even handle a weapon; and God so ever readily answered his prayer; for our Heavenly Father cant wait for yet another awakened peacemaker and another and another. Imagine. No bullet was ever able to touch my dad. No shrapnel of the all around him reaping-death-exploding bombs harmed him. Twice he stood in front of a firing squad and each time a miracle happened; he opened his eyes and he so no one pointing a gun at him; he only saw the ground strewn with corpses. Through his actions my father changed the war genes into peace genes, which he passed on to me. I actually draw from what has been passed onto me. That one spark I have been fanning; for I want it to burn like a torch. The other way to change a gene is through the transmittal power. The transmitting alone does not do much except it brings conviction, which God put on Cain who hated it thats why it was easier for him to leave Gods presence where he would have to repent rather than return to righteousness. When the transmitted information is taken and fully embraced and then cherished, it will eventually change the DNA structure for it will insert the most powerful information ever peace. To this day many avoid Gods presence in which they feel uncomfortable. Many avoid conviction for actually they do not want to part with their sin and their restless ways. Cain was restless and embraced unrest just as I embrace peace and its wonderful ways. God will do the same for you if you understand what it really means to be a peacemaker. We perish for we know too little and believe too little. We decay like all creatures in nature because we identify ourselves with them too much. We study the matter and we see ourselves as matter. We believe doctors diagnosis as something final with no-way-out solutions treating science as a god. As long as you keep on medicating yourself you keep on accepting your illness and fix it in permanence, yet it is not at all permanent. It may have come in anger, but it must be taken on off like a temporary garment with the real healing peace. It can happen in daylight, but why do you let sunsets seal it with permanency? Why have you permitted the night darkness to keep you away from the light of day? Is there no God in heaven? Is there no Holy Spirit on this planet? Is there no Balm in Gilead? Have you exhausted all possibilities after you have sought God? Or you have only guessed that perhaps God is not close enough or is not willing to heal? Do you still want to keep on guessing? We seek matter and long for more of the green buck in order to get more and more as if we keep looking for something we have lost and still lack. We lack the true peace.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS

Dr. Joseph Luxum

By understanding, knowing and acquiring thereby more wisdom; and believing more; and going beyond the boundaries we ourselves have made for our wretched lives; we would reach for the original divine intent. God awaits our untamed and boundless search and discovery upon discovery. It gives Him joy and great pleasure when we go beyond mediocrity, for He told me so. He said, Son what I mind is mans mediocrity and his unwillingness to forsake it. Ever since then I aspire to go ever higher. I rise to His heights. After being a wanderer on this earth for the greater part of my life I have arrived at the final station. Its a banquet and a feast. More comes soon. If you start praying for more revelation, more revelation will come your way. If you really desire to turn your life around for good then you must release that flame of your desire.

Psalm 42
As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long, Where is your God? 4 These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God, With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival. 5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence. 6 O my God, my soul is in despair within me; Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. 8 The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life. 9 I will say to God my rock, Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 10 As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me, While they say to me all day long, Where is your God? 11 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
When the mind is renewed it will dictate your soul what to feel and how to behave. Hush down your troubled soul and let go of even the thought of having an enemy.
