The Melchizedek Chronicles – NEWS BULLETIN for the Millennial – What a Friend You have in Jesus!

For Seekers of Truth

You know, if Jesus of Nazareth were alive today, he would be a Millennial, just like many of you.  Of course, his message needs to be heard by people of all ages, but he would be a Millennial so it is really meant for you.

Now, he had quite a resume for someone just thirty-three years old.  Truth is, he really only held one job his whole life and that was only for the last three years of his life.  It seems he was content living at home and being a professional student until reaching thirty.

His job began at the “Great Awakening” when his cousin John (the Baptist), the voice in the wilderness, Baptized Jesus.  It ended when he was crucified just three years later.

Think about it, two thousand years ago when Jesus actually lived, there was no technology.  Imagine a life with no smart phones, smarter televisions, gaming, social networking, bathrooms, cars, GPS, texting, and all those other distractions of civilization.

No cops patrolled the streets, just legions of soldiers from the mighty Roman Empire.  No cell phones to tap, computers to hack, and certainly no lame street media and their fake news brainwashing you.

Nothing was more important to Jesus than family and friends.

Yet in spite of his lack of worldly experience, he did have a few notable attributes.  First, he was the greatest Wizard to ever live because his electrifying White Magic worked miracles and wonders.

Jesus also had unimaginable knowledge and wisdom.  Back when he was just fourteen, he went missing one day and his panicked parents found him in a Jewish Synagogue, debating theology with a large group of religious scholars and holy people.

Seems Jesus was not fond of bureaucracies, especially stagnate ones. Nor did he like worn out institutions.  To him it seemed they tended to follow a pattern of being set up to serve people only to wind serving their own needs.  Their concept of serving begins with self-preservation.

Class distractions, religions, race, ethnic and cultural differences were more disruptions from our true purpose.  Jesus knew the elusive truth, and he knew we needed help, spiritual help, to find it.

The world his generation would inherit from their parents and grandparents back then was riddled with lies, hatred, bias, corruption, poisonings, wars, immorality, slavery, cultural and political polarization.

Sound familiar?

It was not a pretty sight to behold.

Yet people from near and far, far away recognized from the moment he was born and the world was illuminated by joyous angels that Baby Jesus was destined for something very special in his life.

Some even regarded his birth as fulfillment of the ancient Biblical prophecies from many cultures, races, and religions foretelling of the new Messiah.  Jesus Christ was the son of the Unknowable One, God, yet he walked among us.

As Jesus often reminded us, we are all creations of the Creator.  Spiritually, we are all equal reflections of our One Creator.  Sadly, we lost the ability to open our heart and soul to this truth.

So, Jesus spent the next three years of his ministry travelling the countryside telling everyone who would listen of the pathway to the light.  His message was all spelled out in the New Testament of the Bible.

In the end, he gave his life so that future generations would be inspired to find their own path back home, to Oneness with the Creator.  He taught of love, peace, brotherhood, respect, compassion, empathy, joy and happiness.  How it all was within our grasp.

Most of all, he taught us who we are.  He introduced us to our spiritual self, meant to co-exist with your physical self and make you whole.

Our physical self is the vessel for this lifetime as embodied in our DNA which creates the Body and Mind.  But our spiritual self is also the one direct connection to God, our Creator.  It consists of the Soul and Spirit.

Our Soul is custodian of all our memories from this lifetime, all our memories of prior lifetimes, and the collective consciousness of our Creator and Creation.  You might say our Soul is our “avatar.”

  av·a·tar

/ˈavəˌtär/

noun

HINDUISM

a manifestation of a deity or released soul in bodily form on earth; an incarnate divine teacher.

an icon or figure representing a particular person in video games, Internet forums, etc.

Jesus might be the ultimate Avatar.

As for the Spirit, it is the driving force behind our imagination, creativity, willingness to serve all others, and desire to protect all of Creation the Earth, the cosmos and what is beyond our ability to comprehend, yet.

Action heroes are figments of our imagination but Jesus was real and walked among us, Avatar or not.  He is the road map you will not find on your GPS nor triangulate with your Smart Phone.  You can only find the way through your non-physical self, your spiritual self.  The Heart, the Mind, the Soul and the Spirit will get you there if you just read the Truth, he left for us.

You have no idea what a great friend you have in Jesus.  Please do not waste the knowledge he left for you.  Find synchronicity between your spiritual life and your physical existence with prayer, meditation and fasting.

Accept your co-creator responsibilities for Creation and fix what is wrong in our physical world, for all to share and enjoy.  Understand the amazing wonders you can achieve when you are guided by the gifts God gave you of the Soul and Spirit.

Learn the power of the perfect love of the Creator in creating all that was, is, or ever will be, including you.  Make a difference for others and your rewards will be bountiful.

Jesus did not need technology to produce scientific marvels and wonders.  He transcended the limitation of mankind, violated all laws of nature, physics, and medicine, and gave hope for the salvation of all alive and yet to be born.

Some feared him and his ability to win the hearts and minds of the people.  Others coveted his powers and relationship to God.  But the people, the forgotten and invisible souls throughout the Earth loved him and his message of hope, redemption, and salvation for all.

When he walked on water they were stunned.  When he healed the sick, they were astounded.  When he raised the dead, they were awakened by the brilliant purity of his light and magnificence of the Creator’s love for us all.

Follow the path of Jesus to attain immortal Oneness with God, the Unknowable One. God will never forget or give up on God’s Creations, us!  If only we do not give up on God…

p.s. Even if you are not a Millennial you are still a creation of the Creator.  This message is for you.  My that Jesus sure sounds like a Millennial.  

It is Memorial Day weekend - time to Remember, then Love and Live - God's Fallen Warriors

I do not know about you but I really need a break from reality, at least for a weekend.  What better way to change your outlook than by focusing on the sacrifices by so many members of our armed forces, dating back to George Washington and his ragtag Continental Army.

We all know people who have served, or we are beneficiaries of the service by others who gave us freedom, hope, equality and justice.  I suppose if one were realistic, they would say we honor those who sacrificed for others, yet wonder about those who ignore the sacrifices and do things that are not in the public interest.

When I was young I lived to have the opportunity to defend freedom.  My career in both sports and education were preparation for joining the military.  Even as I was playing basketball at the University of Arizona I was immersed in an intensive Reserve Officer Training Program to prepare me for the inevitable service during the Vietnam war.

However, Divine Providence has other ideas for us on occasion so at the moment I volunteered for the draft armed only with high marks in officer's training, they discovered my body had been permanently damaged from fifteen years of intensive sports achievement.  

Rather than military service, I spent much of the next three decades working in government and politics.  Sometimes we just have to find the good in adversity.

So this weekend, as I do every year, I will honor our fallen heroes.  I will honor those who have not fallen but gave up their lives for us through injury and stress and will never be able to lead a normal life.  I will honor the families of those heroes whose lives were changed forever by wars halfway around the world.

Here is a song I wrote to honor those heroes, to help keep the memory of their supreme sacrifice alive so it could not be forgotten.  It is performed by my band, Nashville Bound. I hope you take the time to listen to it.  The name of the song is "No One's Left Keeping Score."  Click on the link below to hear it.

The Melchizedek Chronicles – A Message of Hope from God!

It is okay to doubt what you have been taught to believe when a higher Truth prevails!

As we approach the fateful crucifixion and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus, you should take a moment off from your texting, your digital real-time conversations, your gaming or whatever other apps absorb your time, and think of the sacrifice that was made for you.

Your Creator, the real “Unknowable One,” not the one in your games or video fantasies but God, is watching the Holy Week activities honoring the fulfillment of ancient prophecies in your life.  At the heart of that fulfillment is the vicious torture and death of God’s Son, Jesus.

Followers and kinfolk of Jesus will experience a wild swing of the pendulum between polar opposites of emotions.  First is the uplifting glory of the triumphant arrival in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the cheers of the adoring crowds.  Then the plunge to the deepest depths of Hell as the same people demanded and got the crucifixion and death of their Messiah, the Son of their Creator.

Jesus came to show us the errors of our way, to teach us the true path to salvation, to remind us of all we have forgotten about God through the centuries, and to bring joy, peace and love back into our lives.

You have a mind, a spirit and a soul all gifted to you by Father Creator.  Do you protect those gifts, cherish them, nurture them and keep them free of contamination by the Dark side?  I reckon not, in the case of many of you.

Sometimes even, through no fault of your own, you actually believe the lies of your existence.  Has your mind shut out the spirit and soul, blocked them from influencing your day-to-day life by denying access to your spiritual and moral foundation?   Instead the mind has cleverly substituted rationalization for them.  You might fool yourself, but you will never fool God.

Today we have arrived at a major fork in your path of life and existence.  One fork leads to your illumination in the blinding enlightenment of God’s Plan for Creation.  The other fork, the polar opposite of the Christ consciousness, leads to your oblivion at the Final Judgement for failing to remember God’s Plan.

The good news, even if you start down the wrong path, God will never give up on you and will send divine spirits and angels to help you find your way.  On the other side of the equation, the wrong path, a failure to pursue God’s Plan is your expression of free will to defy God’s Plan.

In this time, we have entered the Seventh, and last Human Life Cycle on Earth after all those billions of years of existence.  By now your expression of free will should be consistent with God’s will.  You are running out of time to secure your chance for forgiveness, redemption and salvation.

Those who live by lies, falsehoods or partial truths are contaminated by the Dark Side.  If you remain that way you can never find eternal salvation as One with the Creator.  Evil cannot exist in the Creator’s eternity.

It is a pretty grim outlook for many.

However, contrary to prevalent “fake” news regarding the ancient Biblical prophecy, the whole story of being condemned and sent to burn in Hell for eternity is not part of God’s Plan at all.

You may be contaminated and fail, make no mistake, but the consequences are more “humanitarian” I guess.  Contaminated souls are sent to the farthest reach of the cosmos, the edge of the universe, and put to the final test, seeking forgiveness, redemption and salvation.

Fail that test and the contaminated soul is sent into a Black Hole where everything goes in, including light, and nothing comes back out.  All trace of existence is gone in an instant.

That need not be your final conclusion if you just make an effort to get on the path of redemption.  Many good people walking the earth as well as divine spirits and angels of God wait in the wings to come to your aid if you only cry out for help.

The Kingdom of Heaven and eternity in Oneness with God await your decision.  All you have to do is ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you to the path of Jesus leading to eternal salvation.  Joy, peace and love await those who hear the call and seek grace.

Perhaps you might want to reconsider your goals in life if they are ego-based or under the influence of the many sinful forms of deadly virtues in our lives.

Knock on the door of God, either the Father, or Sophia the Mother, or Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Mother Mary, Magdalen, Michael or other divine spirits of the Kingdom and you will be welcomed by open arms and shrouded from evil by the cloak of love of the Father.

Will you seek your path back to the Garden?

Born January 15, 1929 - Died April 4, 1968

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

                                                Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I have decided to stick to love...Hate is too great a burden to bear.”

                                                Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"

                                                Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty."

                                                Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."

                                                Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” 

                                                Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every tenement and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old spiritual, "Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."

                                                Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else?  The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation."
                                                Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”

     Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, "Love your enemies." It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.

                                                Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
